We start with a journey as so many books do. Fawn Bluefield is heading to Glassforge, a city far enough away that she hopes to start a new life for herself and her child. She's young and small for her age and being alone on the road has been a real learning experience. When a Lakewalker patrol stops at a farm, forcing Fawn to climb a tree to avoid being seen, it doesn't mean anything to her. She's never sure if what she knows is right, wrong, or a story her brothers told her to see if she'd believe it. Now, what she doesn't know could get her killed.
