Mara didn't know her parents were living a lie.
After learning a secret that causes Mara to question her heritage, she runs to Torindan, the High Hold of Faeraven, to seek the truth. What the innkeeper’s daughter doesn't know is that Rand, the mysterious tracker she’s hired to guide her through the wilderness, has been sent on an errand that puts her life at risk.
Helping Mara furthers Rand's purposes, but he doesn't count on his emotions interfering.
With Faeraven on the brink of war, Rand is faced with a life-altering choice, Mara is torn between escape and learning the truth, and the future hangs in the balance.
Will Mara be heir to the Faeraven throne? Can Rand escape the terrors of the dungeon?
As Torindan and Pilaer prepare for battle, anything can happen.

Excerpt
(The
heroine of Sojourner returns to the inn after seeing a poisonous lizard by the
river.)
“Mara!”
A tousle-haired stable hand called to her.
She
waved to Hael, and he grinned in return. A sudden lift of heart sent her to
meet him before he could leave the stableyard. It was an old game, one they’d
played since she could remember.
Hael
slowed his pace, grinning. He’d taken to letting her win of late. She arched her
brow to tell him she knew this, but a smile tugged her lips. “I suppose Mam
looks for me already.”
“That
she does.” He ducked his head, an unruly brown lock escaping his cap.
“I
shouldn’t keep her waiting, but I need to find Da.” She swept a glance to the
inn yard, where insects turned lazy spirals in the air.
“Your
father be in the common room. What’s amiss?”
“I
saw a grillon at the river.”
His
brows met in a scowl. “Did you take harm?”
“Of
course not. I know to be careful.”
He
tapped her under the chin, a smile warming his brown eyes. “A grillon can bite
even the careful.”
“If
grillons did not fear people, more would die from their bites.”
“Don’t
grillons prefer the bog? I’ve never seen one in the cove before this.”
Da
and Hael always returned from cutting turf for the fire in the bog lands with
tales of the strange creatures they found. Last summer, Da had brought home a
grillon trapped in a jar. Mam had been none too pleased about that. He’d
explained that he meant to take Mara along next time and wanted to warn her
about the grillons. Mam made him promise to put an end to the grillon, but had
it somehow escaped?
“Sometimes
they stray. Don’t be afraid. I’ll search him out for you.”
He’d
never gazed at her with such a soft look on his face before. What did it mean?
