“Trapped by privilege and haunted by secrets, Helaine is a caged bird in her own home, bound by contract to marry a stranger and surrounded by enemies wearing friendly faces. When betrayal strikes from within, she takes a daring leap into the forbidden forest—where she encounters the Wild Boy and the Unicorn, beings of myth and untamed magic.

Helaine’s journey takes a dark twist when Robert the Priest demands she call the unicorn to its death to save her ailing father. Torn between loyalty and her growing sense of purpose, Helaine faces impossible choices that could shake the realms of faith and power alike. With danger closing in from all sides, she must decide who to trust, how far she’ll go to protect those she loves, and if she can ever return to the life she left behind.”
