Trained as an emissary of the court, can her destiny lie hidden in the wildwood?

Like her illustrious parents, Lady Elloni Lutel was trained to serve the monarchy as emissary to friend and foe, even to refusing offers for her hand from very eligible princes. But being tasked to live among the ancient race dwelling in the depths of the wildwood just so she can ferret out the secrets of the new seer who has arisen? That might be beyond even her considerable powers of persuasion.

Bay Randene, Khan of the Falling Waters, finds the posturing of their new allies amusing. Born with the ability to sense emotions, he knows when people lie to him, but even he cannot understand why he must entertain this beautiful Stranger in his mountain camp. Faced with the choice of marrying or giving up his position as leader, Bay has been searching for a bride among his own people. But Elloni’s wit and intelligence call to him, and something more stirs within her that only he seems to be able to sense.

Elloni feels it too. Only Bay and his people can wield the mystical gifts, yet she has an ability she never dreamed possible. As others seek to kidnap her and weaken the new agreement between her people and his, she and Bay must work together to uncover the culprit. With danger marching closer every day, embracing their gifts and each other may be the only way to survive.
