"As one of the last surviving witches, Faelyn's sole duty is to keep the protective barriers on the forests where the lykin roam-creatures who can shed flesh for fur-sparing nearby humans from their violent, beastly natures. When she has an unlikely encounter with the rare, primordial spirit of the moon, Faelyn finds herself not only the object of the Wolf King's desire, but essential to his ability to keep his crown. Taken to the magical land of Midscape, the Wolf King claims her as his bride to control the moon spirit's magic that now resides within Faelyn. But Faelyn refuses to resign herself and the spirit Aurora to a life of servitude underneath the king's cruel rule. Faelyn hatches a dangerous plan for them both to escape and help comes from an unlikely ally."--
