Synopsis

It's harvest time, traditionally a season of plenty for sea-bound Englalond. But within its borders, at the farthest reaches of the Hyddenworld, disaster looms. A blight is growing, marked by quakes and unnatural blizzards. Judith is tasked with healing the land, but this burden is immense. Lonely and lovelorn, she threatens to reap a terrible harvest of her own. Yet a trio of hydden travellers offer hope - for the land and the war threatening their people. For Judith's parents, the shadow of the hydden Empire's army looms large. They must summon allies or the city of Brum will fall. And only Bedwyn Stort, Brum's famed scrivener, can unravel a secret that could heal their world. Stort must risk death to find Autumn's lost jewel. Only his love for Judith will drive him forward - to bring her the gem she needs to tame the wild earth.
