Takes place before [b:The Black Witch|25740412|The Black Witch (The Black Witch Chronicles, #1)|Laurie Forest|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1487956992s/25740412.jpg|45580046]. The narrator is Elloren's mother Tessla, and follows her brief capture by the Kelts and meeting Vale, Elloren's dad. While the two hates each other at first, they find themselves wildly attracted to each other. When Elloren is about to be fasted to Malkyn Bane, a really cruel man, Vale steps forward to become her fastmate to save her from Malkyn. But it turns out the two have a lot in common and their magical affinities are a perfect match, and pretty soon they fall in love with each other.

It's a very sweet story and gives us an inside to her parent's lives. For some reason, I feel like maybe her parents are still alive... Well I can't wait for Forest's next book to come out: [b:Light Mage|36631066|Light Mage (The Black Witch Chronicles, #1.5)|Laurie Forest|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1519750235s/36631066.jpg|58394869] and [b:The Iron Flower|35750305|The Iron Flower (The Black Witch Chronicles, #2)|Laurie Forest|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1515505297s/35750305.jpg|57253914]!
