Synopsis
Red is now living at Elvesden Manor under her real name, Rowan, and trying to put the past behind her. But staying on the straight and narrow isn’t as easy as she had hoped . . . Hounded by those who would like her to participate once more in the changeling trade, Rowan is also haunted by dreams of the Hedgewitch’s cottage and the chained-up Eldritch, who swore revenge when she left him there. Her past is about to catch up with her, but can she, Tanya and Fabian prevent it consuming her altogether? Will she make it back this time, or will dark forces finally claim her?
