Life without love is a scary, cold and brittle place. A place no one would desire to live in. Since the disappearance of her mother over a decade ago that's all Uki Alnuri has ever known. Each day a chore to keep her father happy and live hidden, outcast from the world. River water and deer meat only sustains life, it doesn't enrich it and that is the one thing she needs, the one thing she craves for every day. The only trickle she is allowed is found when she travels to a nearby market where an old man encourages her to hide honeyed berries beneath the folds of her cloak with a gentle smile.
Her life hasn't changed in years. Until she meets a boy who she believes to be completely unimportant. Until her father finds out and her world is thrust into chaos.
A boy who has spent his life running and a girl who has spent her life hiding. What horrors lie in their past and what torment lies in their future. With spells bound around them both, the web is cast so wide there is no way to know where is safe. If you don't know anywhere safe the only smart thing to do is assume everywhere isn't.
Uki was quiet and placid when she needed to be but that is not what the world requires of her now. She must become something more.
Within her the beast takes a careful step. Then another.

A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
