Heartbroken after her parents are murdered, Anett Nemeth has no choice but to fend for herself while her homeland, Hungary, recovers from the dread of war. But when an unhinged Count of a secret woodland manor abducts her to fulfill a wager, she must either live captive as his wife or be thrown to the same men who murdered her parents. In trying to prove to herself and the Austrian army that this Count only agreed to the bet to save his own life after being labeled a traitor by both her people and the Austrians, Anett must sustain the balance between good and evil by uncovering the one truly responsible for her kidnapping and her parents' death.
