Gisela and her brother have been lost in the woods for years...that doesn't mean they want to be found

Gisela has had one purpose since she was seven-to protect her little brother Haiden. Abandoned by their parents, he's vulnerable to anyone who would exploit his singing ability. If they stay hidden deep enough, they might also outrun the terrible prophecy the elf princess spoke over Haiden as a child-the one that destroyed everything.

Crown Prince Otto has little experience of the forest, but he's determined to do a good job of the task his father set him-to save the Forest of Ilgal from the wild magic overwhelming it. Except the deeper into the forest he goes, the more he realizes how little he knows of Ilgal. The elves seem to be at the heart of the mysteries-if only he could reach them in their sequestered forest city.

When Gisela and Otto cross paths, both of their courses are changed forever. Otto finds himself drawn to the reserved forest girl, in spite of the secrets she clearly harbors. And it takes everything Gisela has to remember that however honest he might seem, the prince is the last person she should trust. Especially when dark rumors are growing and singers are disappearing. And worst of all is the fear growing in Gisela-that the chance connection with the prince will force her to choose between protecting her brother and saving her kingdom.
