After the War, the world was in chaos, governments were destroyed, anarchy reigned, and death always seemed to be at your door. The end results were 5 families that gained enough power and resources to form sects. The land that was once called the United States, was now divided into sects, and the leaders were called Rex's. Willow grew up after the war, after the anarchy, and in a safe sect where her family took care of their people, but when her sect falls upon hard times, the only option her family sees is sending her off to marry a Rex's son in hopes of creating an alliance with them. Willow hates the idea of marrying for anything other than love, but she will do anything for her people. Will Willow be able to convince the Rex's son that there is such thing as a marriage bound in love? Or will his hardened heart snuff out any hope Willow has for making this more than just a business arrangement?
