I'm running through a field of red flowers. My heart is thrashing in my chest, desperate to get away from the monster behind me.
I can't breathe.
Too bright, the sun blinds me. I begin to panic. How am I going to get away from the beast chasing me if I can't see?
I have to keep going. I can't stop. My eyes are glued to the ground, the only thing I can see in this white light.
The flowers, covered in the blood of the monster's victims, fade away behind me.
The ground inclines sharply, some patch of grass grips hold of my toes. My knees hit the ground.
No.
In a mysterious world, separated from ours by a thin veil, a war is raging between two brothers. One seeks to protect his kingdom. The other, to destroy it. Thousands of fairy lives have been lost in this vicious century-long battle between brothers, with no ending in sight.
Across the Veil, a girl with a mysterious power dwells. Haunted by nightmares of a bloody feud that leave her exhausted and seeing danger at every turn, Bethany will soon learn that it isn't all an illusion. Then, even as the reality threatens to destroy her, she will be faced with a choice: to ignore the war raging around her, or to take up a fight that began long before she breathed her first breath in a world where she may very well breathe her last.
