Zara endures fifteen grueling years as an outcast menial in the fortress of House Greth, answering to the haughty Lord Rowan. When her eighteenth birthday unlocks her fated spiritual bond, Rowan scoffs at her humble station, publicly renouncing the connection in front of the high priests.
Her humiliation is interrupted by Lord Theron Blackwell, the feared ruler of the cursed realm, who instantly recognizes the ancient bloodline radiating from her skin. Under Theron's forbidding protection, Zara masters her divine inheritance, ready to bring retribution to the nobles who mocked her before Rowan can reclaim his lost prize.
