Each year, they took turns telling.

Lilah and Juli and Grayson.

Of the mountain elf that had descended to warn them of the festival. Of the ice spiders and the fire-render. Of the pebbles and the earth-mover. Of the bear and the mender, singing life into the world.

Of magic.

When their merchant father used what remained of his coffers to purchase the remote territory of the Basin, Lilah and Juli and Grayson find themselves far beyond the familiar bustle of the Capital. In the city, magic has begun to fade into myth; not so, in the Basin. On the edge of the Wilderness, the world is still teeming with Ice Spiders and Sleeping Stones and those gods-damned vora, tormenting the humans with their riddles.Something foul awakes in the fall of their adolescence, and amid failed relationships, heartbreak, and loneliness, the three siblings are driven into the Wild in search of a ward to save their settlement. They fight, for themselves and the people they love, delving deep into the fantastic in a world that might best be forgotten.
