Phia Hamlyn's problems started long before she was born, when a deadly virus decimated the Elf population of Solvia and began an inter species breeding program that would have far reaching consequences. It backfired - chosen for their compatibility, the passionate nature of Human women proved irresistible to the Elves sent to mate with them. The controlled restoration of Elf numbers turned into a population explosion of Halfling children, too many for Solvia to absorb. That's when the hunters were sent out to eradicate the problem. Raised as a Human and hidden from the Fey, the Halfling Phia has no knowledge of her heritage, or the death sentence it carries. Until a stone covered in strange markings appears on her late Mother's grave and exposes her existence. Now, all that stands between her and the hunters, is an enigmatic stranger encountered briefly on a secluded riverbank. Together they begin an incredible journey that will test both Phia's head and her heart and unlock the courage that she never knew she had...until now.
