Additional information
This was it. This was Na'rina's chance to prove to her mother and the dryad Council she could navigate the mythic and human worlds. With night hanging over the city, all she needs to do is sneak in unseen, attend a mythic meeting, and report back. If only she knew who had called the meeting in the first place.
Na'rina's a young Drydanda, destined to be Queen of the Dryads, or tree nymphs. Her world-fauns, nymphs, dwarves-hides in plain sight from the more populated human world. As long as they remain myth, they remain safe.
He's come to warn them but he's a wer-im, a werecat, who was banished centuries ago with the rest of his species for burning the dryad's trees. But humans captured his leader and dozens of other mythical creatures as well. If the mythic world is to survive, he must forge alliances.
When Na'rina's mother goes missing, she finds the violent, banished wer-im her only allies. She soon realizes that everything she's been taught in preparation for leadership appears to be wrong. Who can Na'rina trust while attempting to keep the dryads alive in her mother's absence? As she quickly discovers, the fate of the mythical world rests on her decisions.
