Eliza Medarda has always been the family's weakest link, the runt, the lamb among wolves. Her mother never let her forget it. While her siblings fought for power, Eliza was left in the shadows, waiting for the day she'd be cast aside.
But when tragedy shatters the family and exile claims her sister, Eliza is unexpectedly brought to Piltover. Whether it's for a political scheme, a marriage, or something darker, she doesn't know. All she knows is that she's walking into a future chosen for her, not by her.
Torn between fear and the faint hope of freedom, Eliza must decide: will she remain the lamb her mother believes her to be, or finally learn to bare her fangs?
