Extended description

Now she has moved to an estate in the Donamorgh forest, where she hopes to live in isolation, and to once again meet the fairies from her childhood. But instead of the peaceful life she envisions, Tessa finds distraught fairies, a woman crying in a forbidden circle, and a mystery wrapped in magic that reaches through many generations.

If Tessa is to find her own peace, she must face the terrifying power that resides within her, and use it to help the people of Donamorgh.
