All seventeen-year-old Lena Santalin ever wanted to do was work and take care of her family. Until her dreams of a simple life shatter with one word: Cursed.

Everyone in Keiben knew the cursed were trouble. Born with uncontrollable power, they couldn’t be allowed to roam free. Wherever a cursed goes, terrible accidents always follow. They are all either under the control and service of the King or banished to the wilds beyond the barrier.

With no other choice, Lena crosses the barrier into a foreign land filled with strange people, creatures, and ideals. She must now learn how to navigate this new world and her own dangerous curse, all while keeping out of reach of the Keiben guard and trying to get back to her family.

No one has come back after crossing the barrier. Even with the help of her new friends, the odds are stacked against her. But Lena wasn’t about to let anything stop her from getting back to her family.

For fans of epic fantasies with chaotic curses like Girl, Serpent, Thorn and The Wrath & the Dawn
