Hidden Icon

Eiren is a gentle storyteller who has always been able to perceive what others think and feel. Her gift, she learns, has roots in something dark. To protect her family and homeland from further bloodshed, she gives herself up to the kingdom's greatest enemy, and in doing so she awakens a fury and hunger for revenge that she never knew she possessed.

The war's end does not bring her relief. She is taken north with her captors to their homeland, and the journey exposes her to threats from both the living and the otherworldly. Her powers pull her toward dangerous depths where she could lose herself, and the masked, guarded man at the center of her captivity keeps secrets that her perception cannot pierce.

To learn why she was torn from her home, Eiren must step into the role of the monsters she grew up hearing about in stories, regardless of her wishes.
