Banished from society and branded a witch, Javicia is left to die at the hands of the elements, or the mythical beasts that guard the borders of Eeden.
The Foxkin have been guarding Eeden's secrets for generations, but the humans have become fearless and are willing to risk everything to discover what the beautiful forest hides.
Called by the Most High to stop the conflict, Javicia hides among the Foxkin, determined to leave humanity to its fate. But when the safety of those she loves is thrown into the balance, will she choose survival or sacrifice?
