Selindae, wielder of a cursed crystalline blade known as The Red Festival, has long wandered the fringes of the Young Kingdoms in search of some kind of justice. Ignoring local wisdom, she travels into the deep woods, where her life is nearly claimed by the cold, shadowy clutches of the Mist Eaters.
Her savior comes in the form of a woman named Lynolell; kind, gentle, and tinged with melancholy mystery. As Selindae begins to develop feelings towards her rescuer, she'll come into conflict with an ancient force deep within the forest, all while Lynolell's fate hangs in the balance. What secrets does she hold? Can Selindae spare her from a bitter end? And if so, what must she sacrifice? In the end, she'll have to rely on the strongest force of all; the love between transgender women.
