"Rolina had been to the edge of The Eternal Forest twice in her life. Once when she first stumbled in, chasing after Eli, and once when Eden brought her to see the border she must never cross. Where the trees ended, so did her freedom."For eleven years Rolina and her brother have lived within The Eternal Forest, the home of the immortal High Emperors. Eleven years to claim a place within the Imperial Court. Eleven years to make a home, beloved by the emperors and their immortal protectors. But she and her brother may never leave, may never return to the parents who lost them.When lies poison the public against the Empire, rebellion brews beyond the borders of the forest, inching ever closer to those Rolina loves. It is time to stand. With the help of her close friend, the princess of an enemy kingdom, Rolina takes up her sword and leaves the forest. If her family is in danger, no laws, no wars, no empire will ever stand in her way.
