Yulsan soldiers invaded her kingdom, killed her people, and took any who survived as slaves. For eleven years Reina has been enslaved within Den Zei, an encampment that shatters the spirits of those who are within. Yet Reina refuses to be broken, and risks revealing a secret that could cost her life- or set her free.
Malyssandra has lived within the Yulsan palace as a maid since the fall of her kingdom. When she overhears the king's plan to trade slaves for an army overseas, she is thrust into a world she never could have imagined.
As these women are thrown together, their lives are changed forever. For a shadowed creature has been appearing to both of them, and they need to figure out what it wants- before it's too late.
