Lilly planned on using this year to secure her claim and become the Heir. That was not the plan of the grove. The attacks and disappearances are becoming more frequent, and the promise of weapons demands to be filled. No one expected the weapons to be the three teens. To prove their skills, they must face an impossible task: find the identity of the Ghost. Yew tries to make his way in a world he was never part of. Iris has to prove her skills to the only person she''''s yet to convince- herself. Talyn cares about something else entirely. Well, if Talyn was good at anything, it was derailing, but she wonders if the mystery of the Ghost isn''''t too distant from the disappearance of her friend. Lilly has a lot to say about all of it, but will anyone listen?
