A great war is brewing and the young king is stuck with preparing his army. His advisers suggested that he find himself a gifted personal guard, both for his protection and to show that his fathers rein is over and that magic is accepted once more. And so, King Alexander's hunt for his personal guard begins and his hunters are under the order to get as many of the cursed bloodlines as they can, and the only rule is that they have to be alive. That rule leads to Isabel, a young witch, being taken against her will to compete with other witches, demons, werewolves, faeries and various others just to stand by the kings side.
