In a land called Yaneria, separated into five kingdoms, Princess Rahn resides in the kingdom of Santara. She leads a particularly lavish but dull life in her palace with her royal family, until one day when a group of men arrive from the far off kingdom of Darbishan. When Rahn meets an intriguing and alluring young man, she feels herself drawn closer to him. But why does it seem that their fate together is doomed?
Blood, war, sacrifice, betrayal, and just a bit of magic pervade Rahn's once peaceful world, and she is faced with the reality that it will never be the same--and that she might just have to fight to save her own life.
