What this is about: The tale of a young elf named Saphienne. Hear how she grew up to discover that the woodland paradise she lived in wasn't all it seemed, and what she did to make her story infamous.
What to expect: Character-driven writing; fun but believable characters who grow over time; slow burn, slice of life drama with highs and lows; conflict with meaningful stakes; twists with satisfying conclusions; thoughtful and detailed worldbuilding; and an accessible, compelling story that has many layers — if you want to look for them.

A heartbreaking and heartwarming fantasy about rejection and belonging, power and consequence, and the cost of being ourselves.
