Summary: Saaski, a changeling caught between two worlds, is shunned by villagers and haunted by memories of her moorfolk origins. As she uncovers the truth about her past, she faces a heart-wrenching choice: remain with the human family she loves or return their stolen child. Her journey to restore balance leads her back to the dangerous realm that once cast her out. Will Saaski find the courage to bridge the gap between her dual identities and bring peace to those she cherishes? Discover a tale of identity, belonging, and the power of redemption.
