For seven years, Lark has been evading her abusive father, searching for a haven amidst humanity's dwindling settlements. With a cursed ability to instill terror in others, she survives by keeping threats at bay. But her journey takes an unexpected turn when rumors lead her to Cagmar, the fabled city of trolls—a race traditionally hostile to humans. The troll high council sees potential in Lark's unique talent, envisioning her as a valuable ally in their perpetual battle against monstrous creatures that plague their suspended city. However, her acceptance into troll society comes with a dangerous condition: never use her power against a troll, or face dire consequences.

As Lark navigates her precarious position in Cagmar, she forms unlikely bonds and discovers love in unexpected places. But when faced with the animosity of a powerful troll adversary, she must confront the ultimate test of loyalty and courage.

Holmberg weaves a captivating tale of survival, friendship, and the transformative power of fear. As Lark grapples with her past and her uncertain future, she learns invaluable lessons about trust, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit.
