Serena Drakos has been sold to the highest bidder and ends up in the last place she thought possible: in front of the immortal rulers of the Vasillian Empire. Rather than stand trial for her misdeeds, she is forced into a betrothal neither party wants. Unable to simply walk away, Serena must work with her begrudging fiance to get out of their arrangement. She wants to get as far away from the immortals as she can and he wants a chance to marry the woman he truly loves. Fate, on the other hand, might have other plans. In this prequel to The Lonely Kingdom Chronicles, discover the series of events that set everything into motion, and the prophecy that is the only hope to set them all free.
