Description:
Corrin's never been one for adventures, but one is thrust upon her when a plague afflicts her home village. Her teacher, the local healer, offers her a last resort: a fruit from deep within the Gloamwood, a place tied to life, death, and the tales of the starlands… and known to be deathly dangerous. Reluctant but desperate, Corrin sets out on a fantastical quest to seek this miracle cure.
