Seventeen-year-old Rhea is fast, deadly, and on the run, her ability to evade capture determining the future of the kingdom of Etria. The once-exiled Witch King has usurped the throne, and Rhea posesses a desperate plan to raise the armies of the southern kingdom against him and restore the rightful queen. 

But it doesn't take long for her plans to sour when she finds herself hunted by dark forces she hardly understands. After a deadly accident, she becomes stuck with a mysterious stranger wearing odd silver cuffs, and while uncovering his secrets, her own past begins to unravel.

She has the power to save the kingdom--unless the demons of her past bring her down first.All Rights Reserved
