Description
Twenty years ago, the land of Verdélys was plunged into war when a group of insurrectionist imps rose up to slay the newly born Firstborn, four Verdélian children destined to take up the mantle of the Verdélian royalty.
From her home far to the East in the human village of Hull, such things are unknown to Heidi, a young woman who lives with her parents on the outskirts of town. In Hull, the Verdélia are a myth, a tale of unnatural creatures and witchcraft. A myth, that is, until a peculiar stranger appears at Heidi’s cottage home and coaxes a secret from her father Remi: Heidi is a Verdélian, brought as a child to Hull under desperate circumstances twenty years prior.
Guided by fate, Heidi—who discovers she is one of four members of Verdélian royalty—travels to the magical city of Verdélys, capital of the fabled Verdélia. There she meets the other Firstborn: the outgoing and sociable Gaëtan, the reserved and duty-driven Loïc, and Margot, a young woman born as an imp, but a Firstborn all the same.
Caught up in her new world, Heidi must learn quickly if she is to fulfill her role among the Verdélia. But she soon finds she may be up against more than learning the customs and culture of the Verdélia, for the same forces that orphaned Heidi as a baby are on the move once more…
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"We enjoyed the plot and the many different and complex characters. The heroine, Heidi, is smart and brave, a great role model for girls of all ages. She learns about her true origins and her past, including her heritage as a leader of her people. This book is lots of fun to read out loud together. My husband read it to me before bed each night and we loved it! I appreciated that it was clean and family appropriate. Looking forward to a sequel!"
