Summary
This story takes place post-canon in Kotlc where the quiet war between the Black Swan and Neverseen has grown into a raging one, fighting over possession of the humans, who are very frightened right now.
Follow 19-year-old Stina Heks as she becomes a soldier in this war, more than a soldier, even, as she is given a top-secret mission that could change the course of the war. But there’s a catch: she has to work with the most annoying elf on planet Earth: An always serious guy named Sunder Tradove.
At least, Marella, Lihn, Tam, and Jensi have also been placed on the mission with her. But as the war storms on, Stina can’t help but wonder if they are bound to lose no matter what they do.
