From the unique perspective of Sybel, who was oblivious about humankind until she was given a child to raise, the book takes you on a journey of self-discovery and heart-wrenching emotions. The book's most remarkable and unique feature is its portrayal of the fantastic creatures called by wizardry and the intricate details of their behavior and habitats, which will leave readers in awe.

Description

Sybel, the beautiful great-granddaughter of the wizard Heald, has grown up on Eld Mountain with only the fantastic beasts summoned there by wizardry as companions. She cares nothing for humans until, when she is sixteen, a baby is brought for her to raise, a baby who awakens emotions that she has never known before. He is Tamlorn, the only son of King Drede, and, inevitably, Sybel becomes entangled in the human world of love, war and revenge — only her beasts can save her from the ultimate destruction.
