Bay is a slave who has always done what she's told to do, including wear the mask that all of her fellow Undulu clan members wear and never take off. But one day, when she accidentally reveals her face to Roman Akintola, a harsh and strong-willed boy from a rival clan with a strong prejudice against Undulu's, her life is changed for the worse. Now she must face punishment for revealing her face to another human, but the punishment isn't what she expected; it's far worse than exile in the desolate wilderness outside her home city-she must marry Roman Akintola. A story that can be read as a stand-alone or part of a longer novel.
