This is the story of Ellery, a sixteen-year-old orphan forced into slavery and bound to the manor Ivenwald by her stepmother. Ellery lives in the land of Bledsoe, an enchanted part of Britain inhabited by the Eyes, an ancient race of folk with supernatural sight into the past and future. Ellery discovers that she possesses the Sight and must use it to save herself and the land of Bledsoe from Stepmother's dark magic. Inspired by her new friends Haven, a spectral emissary from the Eyes, and Sir Roland, a knight with a dark secret, Ellery also uses her gift to uncover the truth about her father's murder.
