Recovery is slow, but with doors to her past closing, Juno finds herself running to her forest fey. Running for home. Juno is rescued from the clutches of a fey who has tortured and maimed her. Her rescuer is a fey who has been partnered with her brother for the last two years. When she looks into his eyes, she doesn’t see pity, and the music he makes carries her to another world. Once she is deemed recovered, she is offered a job in the Crossroads, and she takes it. There is nothing else to be done; when Derix learns that the fox he wants has moved to the Crossroads, he follows.
