Trapped as a servant in the faeries’ underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna Heron must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn’t, the punishment is death --- for both mistress and servant. With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters and magic, but worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion’s leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she’s willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.
