From the New York Times-bestselling author of BookTok sensations Dance of Thieves and Vow of Thieves comes the lushly romantic, enemies-to-lovers origin story of the Remnant universe.

Before Kazi and Jase, before Lia, Rafe, and Kaden–before the great kingdoms of the Remnant were even born–when the world of old was still a hazy slate of memory told in story and legend, a girl and her family fought to survive.

And that girl’s name was Morrighan.

Discover the origin story of the Remnant universe, penned by the bestselling master storyteller Mary E. Pearson, in this collector’s edition prequel with lavish illustrations, a romance for the ages, and a magic that stirs the heart.

Mary E. Pearson is the author of The New York Times-bestselling Remnant Chornicles and other bestselling, award-winning novels for teens. The Miles Between was named a Kirkus Best Book of the Year. The Adoration of Jenna Fox was listed as a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year, an IRA Young Adult Choice, NYPL Stuff for the Teen Age, and a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She is also the author of A Room on Lorelei Street, David v. God, and Scribbler of Dreams.

Pearson studied art at Long Beach State University, and worked as an artist before earning her teaching credentials at San Diego State University. She writes full-time from her home in Carlsbad, California, where she lives with her husband and two dogs.
