Only the enchanted border separates the oppressive and tyrannous land of Alba from Gaea, a haven where citizens are free to love who they please and choose their gender.

She’s not about to trust Skylar or her little witch fox. If only her unruly heart would heed her better judgment. Even if there was somewhere she and Florian could be free, is Gaea truly a land Calida can call home?
