  Summary

  Elur knows she’s a Bosmer, but she struggles to understand what that means. Despite having two Valenwood-born parents, Elur is not growing up in typical Bosmeri culture. Bravil is the only city she’s known and poverty is the only life she’s lived. Her parents are mysteriously mute on matters regarding Valenwood and the culture they left behind – and why. As Elur grows, she clings to every scrap of the identity she is so desperate to understand – even as, bit-by-bit, more of it is stripped away.
