Author Sarah K.L. Wilson brings us the tale of Vidar and his mayfly bride Elkhanna as over the course of a century we see these two come together. That all starts when Vidar visits the island where the mayfly seer is and from that moment he beings his quest to make her his by giving her an apple. Elkhana takes his apple but because of the mayfly magic that the mothers had put on her she can't eat it. Vidar then goes back to his court before coming back to her with a caged bird of which she sees and he doesn't understand how that makes her feel. Part of the magic that makes her the mayfly seer is that she is caged like an animal and people come to her to see either their future or their past. Butr Vidar saw her as his wife and he did what he had to make that happen. This is a great quick read and I highly recommend it to all fantasy fans.
