"Your great-great-great-grandchild will come of age beneath the blood moon, and only then, will I take my price . . ."
The people of Annabel's town have always said she is marked by witches, ever since she was little and vanished into the forest, emerging hours later with a rosette-shaped mark on her forehead and no memory of what happened. But what they don't know is that a hundred years earlier, her ancestor entered a contract-with Annabel's life as the bargaining chip.
And when a witch turns up weeks before her eighteenth birthday and steals her away, Annabel suddenly finds herself caught in a centuries-old feud between siblings. One wants her as a sacrifice; the other, as a pawn.
Locked away in an enchanted manor, the only thing keeping Annabel alive is the very witch who kidnapped her, a callous boy named Eritai who only sees Annabel as a plaything to be kept from his sister.
But there is more to the story than Eritai is letting on, and in order to find out what he's hiding, Annabel must delve deep into the past, or risk losing everything she cares about-including her heart.
