On her seventeenth birthday, Ora feels that she is old enough to go on the annual hunt with her brother. Her mother doesn't agree. She is terrified that something bad will happen. Reluctantly, she finally allows her to go with the warning to keep her true name secret. Ora doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Sure she's heard tales of the fae growing up, but they have been gone for ages. She still agrees to take a silver blade with her just in case.
While the hunt starts off boring, it soon turns serious when her brother makes a deadly mistake.
I loved this. I'm a big fan of fae stories to begin with, and this one is fresh and different. I love Ora, and hate Tyg. This story is great and I can't wait for the next one. I only wish it was longer.
