Arden Hood, blind since birth, is not afraid of witches.

Every day Arden walks alone, deep into the woods, to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother, and she's yet to come across a single witch.

Arden believes her life may be this small forever--quiet evenings with her father and days spent at her grandmother's bedside--until two encounters alter the course of her life. One day at the market she chances upon the Queen's hunter, who develops an interest in her yet won't say what he's hunting; and that same evening, she's rescued from a wolf attack by a mysterious young woman named Myra, the last witch still living in the woods.

Myra is nothing like the witches in the villagers' stories--she is good and kind and soon she becomes the best friend Arden has ever had. The girls hide their friendship, but they cannot hide forever. The hunter was sent to these woods for a reason, and he won't leave until he's captured a witch...
