Mae never asked to be craft-born. She never wanted that burden.
The realm needs magic again, and the the King of Aegunlund has been waiting for the first craft-born girl to marry his son, Prince Casimir.
In Mae’s town of Halts-Walden, the ambitious miller claims his daughter Ellen is craft-born. Mae knows this is a load of hogwash, but she’s glad Ellen will have the unfortunate pleasure of becoming queen instead of her. All she has to do is sit back and wait until Casimir and Ellen are married, then she will finally be free of the threat of her fate. But on that day an event so shocking and terrible occurs that Mae finds herself entering the neighbouring cursed forest on a quest she never thought she’d have to follow.
Join Mae as she rides her white stag through the Waerg Woods with a pampered prince at her heels. She’s out for revenge and nothing, no one, will get in her way.

Teaser:
They call me White Hart because on the
day I was born—the day Mother died—the white stag appeared at the
window of our hut, just a calf back then, so Father says. He tried to
shoo it away, but the stag kept coming back, staring through the
window, watching me as a baby. When I could talk, I yelled, Anta!
Anta! I pointed at the large, furry antlers from his head,
standing tall and crooked like the branches in the Waerg Woods.
No one knows why Anta stayed with me,
or why he let me tame him. I ride him, too, and he drags the cart of
wood to market. They whisper behind us, That’s no place for a
white stag. What did they do to the creature? They have no right to
own an animal like that... and more than once Father has had to
threaten those who come to our house late at night, desperate to
poach Anta for his fur. I’d never let anyone hurt him. I’d kill
anyone who tries.
