Summary

Liora has always lived at the edge of the Wild. Her town fears what waits beyond the border stones, but Liora has never had the luxury of fear. She is the healer they call for in birth, sickness, and death, even as they whisper against her when her work is done. Then one night, she finds more than a wounded child and saving him changes everything. Accused, betrayed, and cast beyond the stones, Liora is forced into the very place she was taught to fear — and discovers that the Wild has its own people, its own laws, and its own version of the truth.
