Growing up in an isolated fishing village at the end of the world, Faerowyn endured years of suspicion, hatred and abuse from the rest of the community. Only Markus, a human boy, tried to be friends. On her sixteenth birthday, Faerowyn's mother died and now the half-elf was alone.

Banished from her village, and with only Markus for company, she set out to find her heritage, following a trail left by her mysterious dark elf father when she had been born. She would have to find her way in a big world she was unready to face, and battle more persecution and discrimination before she was to find who she really was.
