Being the daughter of a goddess of death is tough enough, but doubling as her own personal assassin is even worse. When Onyxia - the daughter of a goddess of death - attempts to escape an arranged marriage with a man she does not love, she flees from her kingdom, leaving behind a life of death and darkness. When she stumbles across a familiar kingdom, Onyxia is faced with a sudden reality of a life that she does not remember. Trying to avoid the sights of her mother's warriors, and live a life that is truly hers, Onyxia is faced with some awful challenges, including a sudden pregnancy.

When the Celtic Dáirine village is attacked in the night and half of its people lay slain or captured, the young druidess Aife takes matters into her own hands. She sets off in search of the Morrigan Sisters - two deities with power over death and fate - for with their help, she may be able to rescue those taken from her. But the Morrigan's help comes at a steep price, and Aife will have to pay it.
