Lirael, a mystic’s daughter, has held Jeck’s heart in her loving hands since they were both fifteen. Now newly married, the couple wants nothing more than to farm the land Jeck has carved from the forest and to spend their lives together… until a king’s war changes those plans, and Jeck, forever.

But Lirael is a warrior, too, in her own way… Can the magic she wields save Jeck and the love they once knew?
