The Houses' needed protection - allies to support them as the threat of a long ago prophecy loomed over them, taunting them at every turn and all five houses rushing to form bondings in whichever way they could.

However, with a husband who possesses no need for a civil friendship, much less relationship, and a neglectful family who seem to possess secrets regarding her which start to slowly unravel as time goes on, Callista feels as though she is on borrowed time, the impending drop of doom threatening to drop on her.
