Pellidyrs leader has heard the tales of Beas derring-do and believes her to be the chosen one—a hero with all the answers—but Bea couldnt feel more like a fraud. When her journey also brings her to A Place Between, Bea makes a shocking discovery that changes her understanding of everything that came before her, and what could soon follow.
