Every other day, seventeen year old Nessa Rain escapes her monarchic life as a Lord's daughter in celtic Ireland with her two best friends to the quiet forest nearby. The times are peaceful; a perfect age to be married in her mother's opinion. But her former best friend -her assigned marriage- Prince Caden has changed. He is no longer the friend who she could tell anything to and would let her be who she wants to be. He is now a venomous young man, eager to destroy anything that gets in his path of a prosperous life for himself. When Nessa's little brother announces their hatred to the kingdom, she wonders if her life could get any worse... all while Caden sets his gaze upon revenge.
