When the Chen family publicly breaks off her engagement, her relatives ship her off to Jing City as a bride for a man she has never met, Gideon. On the road there, she saves a stranger from an ambush without realizing who he is.
That stranger turns out to be Gideon himself, and Lucinda is pulled into a war between factions that all want him dead. She keeps rescuing him, hiding what she can do, while the Dragon Sect closes in on the marriage pact. If her secret surfaces, the people hunting Gideon will come for her first.
