Amaryliss Roxten’s cold, quiet world turns upside down when her parents reveal what she suspected: she’s adopted. She doesn’t know how to deal with not knowing her real parents or real identity. The strange boy, the mysterious dreams seeping into reality, and the peculiar elf from another realm isn’t helping. On top of that, her adoptive parents are hiding something far graver than her adoption—something they aren’t willing to tell her at all. But when she starts changing in ways impossible for a human, Amara must uncover the secrets of her existence—and avoid the death planned for her.
