Description

She fell from the sky.

And a kingdom is starting to fracture.

For decades, the Kingdom of Valis has been plagued by disasters and whispers of insurgence against a stagnant government. Mages claim the turmoil began when an outlander arrived from another world, exploiting her way to power.

So, when twenty-three-year-old Darcy arrives at the kingdom's border, Valis can no longer ignore the consequences. Successfully sending this latest newcomer home could restore balance to the world. But in the meantime, with no magic abilities and no knowledge of this strange land, Darcy cannot hope to survive alone.

With the sharp-tongued servant Chadu as her unlikely ally, and two very different princes watching her every move, Darcy must navigate courtly danger, magical academies, and a god who treats lives like pieces on a game board.

But the balance between worlds is still breaking.

Darcy might be the key to its destruction... or its salvation.

A sharp, character-driven YA fantasy filled with found family, political tension, and a heroine who refuses to stay quiet in a world determined to control her.
