I’m four years old, and my daddy is being hunted by those who framed him and stole his magic. With nowhere left to run, he takes me into the Forbidden Forest—every mage fears it. But the beasts don’t attack us. They talk to me, feed me, protect me, and call me their little squishy. When my uncle takes me hostage, the forest comes for me. And when dark mages invade, I discover the truth: I’m not the powerless little girl they thought I was. I’m the one the beasts chose.
