The Steadfast One by Hannah Levin

A cross-country fantasy adventure where heart and soul are put on the line…

Ten years have passed since Marcia de Souza fled through The Rift to the fae realm in search of freedom. With a new name and a place to call home, she fills her days doing odd jobs alongside a diverse band of misfits.
Things are going well… until a high-risk opportunity throws a wrench in things.
The job sounded simple: find the missing heiress, bring her home, and claim the substantial reward. But just as a plan comes together, the party is crashed by a flamboyant stranger wanting to tag along. While Luthri is initially candid about having shallow motivations, there may be more to him than meets the eye.
As Mar and her companions venture into unknown territory, dangers lurk around every corner, from magical burnout to creatures with a taste for flesh. And what in the world is going on with the remote island where their quarry disappeared? New bonds will be tested and long-held values challenged over the course of this daring search and rescue mission.
