Am I . . . In love? Camilla asked herself incredulously. Is this what love feels like? That burning sensation akin to the feeling I had when I wanted to snap his neck a few months back? I feel like I'm being torn apart . . .

He had gone searching for true love, but she returned alone . . . with a bloody wedding ring wrapped in her fist, and his crown atop her head.

She had gone searching for justice, but had not expected justice to be pursuing her.

In a land still young enough to rely on the aid of the gods, Camilla makes it her mission to bring the family who murdered her brother to justice, even if it means sacrificing some of her own morals along the way. When she realizes no one is willing to help her or her cause, Camilla begins to wonder whether seeking justice is the right thing to do at all, as it seems to lead to a never ending cycle of unwarranted vengeance. Soon, Camilla finds herself laying down all her associations to the law of the land, and seeking out new ways to tear apart the family that caused her so much pain before her time is up and Camilla herself is called to justice.
