Overview

We can't unchange. It's the one thing we can't do. Wick and Arrow live in a cage in the boudoir of the Queen of the Giants and have never met any humans except each other. Then a wizard takes one of them away. As Arrow faces the world outside the cage without the boy who taught her to be human, her need for survival leads her to do something unthinkable: pretend he never existed. For the next seven years, Arrow strives to become a normal human girl... until her facade goes up in flames. Finally confronting the impossible demands of an unbreakable love, she finds herself at the center of a game she and Wick have been calculated to lose since their birth. When love becomes a weapon, has it already been destroyed? With echoes of ""The Snow Queen,"" this folkloric fantasy takes inspiration from the quirky, wonder-filled, deeply poignant storytelling of Tolkien's immediate predecessors. Like all good fairy tales, its disarmingly playful tone allows it to probe raw truths about the human heart: the loss and restoration of innocence, the cost of love, and our perennial longing to be fully known.
