Year 403

Corrin and Sachse are best friends, but they’re not supposed to be. Meanwhile, Ostara lives over the border and pushes through her daily life with a mask permanently etched on her face, hiding her insecurities. When she accidentally ends up on the wrong side of the border while gathering plants, Corrin pulls her into his friend’s alley to hide, but only hours later, the Wizards have launched a war against the Witches for foul play, and all men under sixty must be conscripted to war. Ostara, sick of dealing with the pressures that come with being a woman, makes an impossible choice and changes her fate. As the war begins, Planet, Sol, and Moon find a new residence and caretaker for the weeks ahead, and as they study the languages and customs of society, they aren't aware of what could lie in store for them all. As Skylar narrates this tale, you’ll read plots of forbidden friendship and love, struggles with identity, and gruesome battles. [ON TEMPORARY HIATUS.
