Other, less benevolent factions, take a less charitable approach to Frey's sudden appearance - a queenly woman garbed in red accuses her of trespassing and a pale-faced man in robes declares Frey to be worthy of the death sentence at some sort of trial.

Quickly discovering that the world is filled with both beauty and dismay, she must harness her newfound magical abilities to survive. Forspoken follows Frey Holland, a modern woman who somehow winds up in the magical land of Athia.
