Synopsis

Warrior queen Bluebell has lost her kingdom to Hakon, the Crow King, and is also dealing with her sister Willow, who has turned against her. Bluebell wants to attack, but Hakon's threat to burn the city's inhabitants holds her back, and Willow may have the god Maava on her side. Her niece Rowan has otherworldly power, while sisters Rose and Ivy are in hiding and fleeing abuse. Ash, a magician who has lost much of her power, may be able to help Bluebell, so the two cross the sea to the land of giants to recover it. As the sisters' paths converge and the power of Maava grows, they must prepare to fight together.
