When a tragedy leaves Djuna's suitor dead, all suspicion points to her people's sworn enemy as the culprits: the griffin riders. Djuna vows to kill them all as revenge--only to find that one of their own has been found mutilated in the same brutal manner. With the killer at large, Djuna begrudgingly forms an alliance with one of the griffin riders, Ezio, to avenge their dead and unbury the truth. To succeed, one of them must die...but the unexpected flame that ignites between the two may make sacrifice unreachable.
