"When this war ends, it's not just going to be about those who survive. It's about those who are yet to come."
Hallia has spent the first 16 years of her life hidden away on the edge of the Realm, sheltered from the war tearing at the seams of Rylock.
It's a war against magic. Against the Bloods; immortal creatures like her two closest friends.
Against the Blooders; the humans and Witches who support them.
And against her and the Maiden Lineage that flows through her veins.
Yet the prospect of such danger is no longer enough to deter her. With just a Kelpie, a prophecy and a list of rules for company, Hallia strikes out on a trip around the Realm. What could possibly go wrong? Surely nothing. After all, she is the 'unseen girl'.
She just wants to venture as far as she can.
Even if it means breaking all the rules.
"While we're talking tactics, can I throw out the idea of hiding? Heard it does wonders for one's life expectancy."
Nerelyn is a coward. A trait that has served her well during her years at the Community, even if it has set her apart from her fellow Blooders.
It's kept her safe, alive and - for the most part - ignored. Plus, she simply has never been able to see how fighting could possibly result in peace.
So when the Community prepare to take their battle to the Council in the north, she is more than happy to stay behind. Except her Commander has different plans for her.
Suddenly along for the dreaded journey to war, Nerelyn is about to learn exactly how brave a coward can be.
