It is a tradition to arrange a marriage between my family and the Donovans - two powerful families who are sworn to uphold the treaty and peace our forefathers had established. My father told me that I was born for a reason. I am bound to marry a man, the same as I am, chosen by our family. Those of us without luck are the unfortunate ones. As I made my vows, I realized the danger I might face from this stranger with whom I would live for the rest of my life.
