In a world where anyone can create a life-destroying curse, only one person has the power to unravel them. Kellen – a boy who has the power to lift life-destroying curses off others – must find a way to remove the one that hangs over his own life.

Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but helps those transformed maliciously - including Nettle. Recovered from entrapment in bird form, she is now his constant companion, and closest ally.

But Kellen has also been cursed, and unless he and Nettle can remove his curse, Kellen is in danger of unravelling everything - and everyone - around him...
