Demeter was born nothing. The daughter of concubine, it was expected she would be the same, regardless of her wants. She would never marry, never come into her own money, and her only prospects lay in her own beauty and potential to pass that beauty on to her daughters. However, when a childhood friend comes into a position of power, he returns to court demanding to have Demeter for himself. Is he actually buying her freedom under the false pretense of a marriage though, or are his intentions far more sinister? Tirian is no longer the gentle boy she once knew, he has become cold and mysterious, but Demeter is determined to gain her independence, regardless of Tirian's strange cruelty. Demeter must simply outwit her devilish husband and figure out the Maze that is his vast Northern estate, but of course not fall for any of Tirian's wicked magick either. For Demeter fears the longer she stays in Tirian's presence, the harder it is for her to turn from him. **I don't own the original image used in cover**

"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.
