Description

 The Prophecy was wrong. There is no Chosen One.

Coming of age under the weight of an epic destiny wasn’t easy. All Aewyn ever wanted for herself was a home and a family. But to the farmers of Widowvale, she was always destined for greatness. After all, she was a fae-blooded foundling of mysterious birth. Her story was the stuff of fairy-tales. And the villagers, all refugees from a looming civil war, were in desperate need of something to believe in.

But prophecies can be misread, and the men who call themselves wise are often mistaken. When a primordial darkness stirs in the deep wood, and Aewyn’s dubious old mentor is sentenced to hang for treason, the supposed Chosen One must live or die by a choice of her own:

Will she forsake her home and her new family for the dubious destiny she's been promised—or sacrifice it all for one chance to save them?

The Season of the Plough lays the foundation for a powerful new high fantasy saga. You’ll fall in love with the richness of its prose, the stunning detail of its worldbuilding, and its diverse cast of unforgettable small-town heroes.
