Prologue Summary

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of graphic depictions of violence.

The Never Fairies are responsible for shaping the world’s natural rhythms. Their home, the mystical Queendom of Pixie Hollow, is divided into four realms: Spring Valley, Summer Glade, Autumn Forest, and the Winter Woods. Each is bound to a season and centered around the Pixie Dust Tree. While the first three realms are warm, vibrant, and celebrated, the warm-season fairies regard the Winter Woods with wary disdain due to its isolation and the fact that the cold can shatter their wings.

Deep within the Winter Woods lies a forbidden lake, and the ice covering it conceals something far more sinister than water. One moonless night, the Warden of the Winter Woods, Milori, sees the ice crack, releasing a creature of nightmare and darkness, which begins a slow march toward the warm realms.

Chapter 1 Summary

Princess Clarion, heir to the Queendom of Pixie Hollow, has a rare moment of freedom in the Summer Glade. She perches in an oak tree overlooking Sunflower Meadow, relishing the chance to be alone and away from the expectations tied to her upcoming coronation. Though she’s marked as the next governing-talent queen, she feels distant from the world she’s meant to rule since she spent much of her life separated from ordinary fairy life.
