❝In a world hidden from ordinary humans' eyes, a rift exists where supernatural beings-creatures of nightmares-reside. This realm remains shielded from prying eyes, accessible only to those who are captured and forced into servant training. Once inside, individuals are reprogrammed for absolute obedience and trained to fulfill their Masters' every whim until they are deemed expendable. Escape is impossible.

Her fate seems sealed until the royal family abruptly interrupts her auction. As she is thrust into a world of secrets, Madelyn uncovers truths she never imagined. She learns about her mother's past, follows in her footsteps, and is pulled into a life where she must navigate the treacherous waters of royal blood. Madelyn finds herself fighting not only for her own survival but also for those who cannot protect themselves.
