Iris Montgomery is the next Majesty which is pretty cool. She gets to run the whole supernatural shebang. Which means for the first 16 years of her life she is to be trained in the best fighting, the best academics , and the best sorcery. She is to be kind and fair. Always think about equality. She is to be herself and never bow down to another living soul besides the current Majesty.
It is her 16 birthday and the annual ball is to be thrown. Her grandmother and aunts are to go all out and for her theme the dark ages in supernatural history. Masks and royal gowns with dashing young heirs of all species to try and win her heart.
What would happen if for once in all of supernatural history something horrible happened? Or something amazing happened? What if it was a gift and a curse. I mean come on Iris Montgomery isn't exactly a normal witch or this story would be really boring.
Avoid looking into those golden eyes. One look is enough and you will be lost forever.
Once upon a time, beyond the forests and mountains, where the leaves always wore the color of autumn, a girl with great talent grew up, with her mother and father. One day, however, their happiness was stolen by tragedy. Her mother fell ill and death called her to the other side. Nothing was the same anymore. Her father remarried. And in the end, time took him away too.
Iris was left alone with her stepmother and stepsister. They made her a maid, a slave. A prisoner of a life she hated. But something deep inside her prevented her from leaving the house she grew up in - her home. There, as a child, she created all the miracles with her mother and wanted to continue doing so, to give joy to those less fortunate. Like when she made a dress for the butcher's wife, whom her husband no longer loved, that made her irresistible to him again. Or when she made a shirt for her best friend Jace that was supposed to protect him from the edge of swords, since he liked to provoke the royal guards. Her little secret.
But one day, her peaceful life decides to take a completely different direction and everything goes wrong. She meets a prince. She helps her stepsister win him for herself. And ancient family secrets get involved when a demon she is magically bonded with appears. A long-hidden story begins to unfold before her, revealing the truth about her mother, her ancient ancestors, and herself.
And it all started with her simply taking off the necklace she should never have taken off.
