Sight. Blue Haven has been blinded and bruised but will not rest until her twin is safe from the clutches of a murderous prince from a savage kingdom. Borrowing the sight of a Shadow Elfling, she embarks on a journey far from the safe walls of her village with an enemy by her side.

Smell. Kaleo Bannon has been infected by a Shadow Elf's bite. Can he maintain his humanity through his transformation or will the disease devour him as he seeks to rescue the girl he loves?

Cunning. Mason is more determined than ever to take what is his, even if it means dragging an unwilling prisoner across the great wildlands of an apocalyptic waste. But charming Blue would be so much easier.

As the journey through the untamed wilderness unfolds, Blue and Kaleo each slip deeper into their forbidden gifts and farther from their humanity. Each must make heartbreaking sacrifices to save their village-and only they can face this hostile new world.
