As a Seeker she would be one of the few tasked with collecting magical items from the Wild Realm and protecting the creatures who dwell there.

With nothing to lose, Bryn agrees.Despite bonding over their mutual love of magical creatures, Bryn can't forget Ari is still her rival, and she is suspicious of exactly how close he is to the current unrest in the village. And when Bryn realizes just how high the stakes are, can she save both her family-and the realm?
