Who can you trust when you're used to trusting no one? What can you do to stop a man that always seems to be one step ahead?

Sophie is out for revenge. Okay, so maybe it's more like running away from the bad guys, but she would never admit that. She has duties to persure, obligations to handle. Some of which include getting her best friend her soul back. Or killing the man who murdered her brother and distracted her parents.  

Little things like that, right? Well, not quite. Her problems get a little bigger when the dark Prince of the Shadow World captures her and questions her about the man she despises, among other things. 

Would you risk it all to stop running?

Or would love stop you in your tracks?
