Ao ver minha mãe sucumbir a uma doença misteriosa, eu me faço duas promessas: encontrar a cura para a enfermidade que a consumiu e sair da cidade horrorosa onde ela me deixou. Quatro anos depois, sou aceita na Universidade de Dracadia, uma das instituições mais prestigiosas do país, que fica em uma ilha afastada.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.

There are whispers about what lurks in Witch Knell—the forest where sinners go to die. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never given back. Only those who've lost their senses would dare to go near it. Or the banished. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to breach the misty labyrinth of trees, but a tragic turn of events compels her beyond the archway of bones to a boundary no mortal has crossed before. One that cloaks a dark and fantastical world that's as dangerous as it is alluring. It's there that he dwells, the cursed lord of Eidolon.

Después de ver a mi madre sucumbir a una misteriosa enfermedad, me prometí dos cosas: que encontraría la cura y que no volvería a la ciudad en la que la perdí. Cuatro años después, me admiten en la Universidad de Dracadia, una de las más antiguas y prestigiosas del país, aunque se rumorea que está plagada de las almas de los enfermos exiliados allí siglos atrás.
