The inhabitants of Wilde Island are in an uproar after the death of King Pendragon, especially as Arden, the eldest prince and heir to the throne is off on a Crusade. Ruling in the Prince’s absence, Lord Sackmoore has imposed higher taxes on the populace and unleashed Lady Adela, the royal witch hunter to seek out those “corrupted” by evil. With the kingdom in turmoil, the longstanding agreement between humans, dragons and fairies is breaking down as hunger drives people into the protected reserve known as Dragonswood. Although humans are not supposed to intrude, seventeen-year-old Tess escapes her abusive father by slipping into the trees of Dragonswood.
