About this ebook

A thrilling, heartfelt, and magical companion to The Daggers of Ire from J. C. Cervantes, New York Times bestselling author of the Storm Runner series. Perfect for fans of Witchlings and Amari and the Night Brothers!

Fetch the fox is on his own.

Fetch is a weaver of magic, gifted with immense powers—but there is no one left to teach him how to master them. And no one to share his life with since the cruel Winter Queen, Celeste, cursed Fetch into a fox and abducted his beloved younger sister, Violet.

As Celeste awakens from her slumber to usher in Winter once more, she makes a stunning announcement: the Winter Palace—the very place where Violet is being held captive--will host a festival. With the palace's spelled protections down for just one evening, the opportunity to save his sister might finally be in Fetch's grasp. And so, with only Beckblade, a tiny yet fierce bone dragon, for company, he sets off on a treacherous rescue mission.

But what Fetch doesn't realize is that a dark and mysterious secret lies buried within him, one that could unravel everything. Can Fetch discover what plagues him before it leads to his ruin, and he loses Violet and their magic forever?
