Fausta is a peasant living in the poor area of the town of Sherfield. She is hunting with her father Ademar and brother, when she strays too far into the forest near Mount Ashborne while chasing a strange creature. She is knocked out by an unknown force out in the woods, and when she wakes up, saved by her father. A strange brand mark is left on her. Suddenly, the weather patterns are irregular and undiscovered creatures are spotted in the sky. Will Fausta find out what they are?
