Sam isn't chosen. She's a best bet by a man about to die. Or at least that's the only reason she can think of for why she's been turned into a key player in a centuries-long war she didn't even know existed.
Though she had plans for after high school graduation and hopes that her best friend would someday reciprocate her feelings, all that changes when she meets a 3,000-year-old man named Jacob who makes her his Daughter. A Daughter is a beast with sadistic inclinations that can change from a human to a creature of claws and flame on a whim. When she is taken from her peaceful home to the frozen underground caves of Antarctica, she realizes that, due to the nature of what she is, she now has a choice to make and a secret to keep. She also learns that Jacob has willingly died at the hands of his brother, Loukas, with no explanation for what he's done.
Loukas is a Son, claims he is a god, and has the power to back his claims. He aims to better the world through any means necessary. Sam is the only one left with the ability to kill him, but she knows there's a reason why his followers worship him, and despite what she's told, isn't sold on why he has to die, much less why she has to be the one to do it.
In order to stay alive, she must take on her monstrous form and act like a subservient animal to Loukas. Struggling with her new nature, Sam meets Ioannes, the vengeful brother of Loukas and Jacob. She also meets Leah, a former gang leader and ex servant whom Sam is sent to execute. Together, they're left to wonder how to come back from the choices they've made.
