"Are you here to eat me? I should warn you... I'm mostly gristle at this point."

Mei’s survival strategy: If she's dying in The Wilds beyond the Five Courts, she's dying funny.
Briar’s survival strategy: Utter silence. The wild-born huntress hasn't spoken in four months.

Then a half-dead court fae crashes into her territory and will. not. stop. talking.

Now there's a woman in Briar's cave making terrible bark tea, reorganizing the food stores, and looking at Briar’s scars like they're beautiful. Under Mei’s touch, Briar’s walls come down.

But Mei wasn't exiled for being annoying...

She memorized years of records, and the lord who wants her buried is sending Hunters. They expect easy prey. They don't realize they're interrupting tea time.

And the only thing more dangerous than a wild-born huntress is a wild-born huntress protecting her home.
