Aon has always felt different – broken. Everyone in her village is always so happy. There’s no such thing as sadness, anger, or fear. Even when Aon’s mother disappeared, her belongings disappeared soon after and her father did not even seem the slightest bit upset. The only thing that makes her feel even a little bit better is going into the forbidden Carse. Everyone else just avoids it. Everything is so wonderful, there is no reason to dwell on anything unpleasant. Nobody even knows how to do that. The well-loved Queen of the kingdom is dying, and everyone is celebrating. Aon pretends to be happy about that and about everything.
