In a far off ancient village wrapped in superstition and secretes , Tessa Brook awakens from a near fatal attack with no memory of the man who tried to kill her, only the shadow of a face that looks disturbingly familiar. When Rodvile Ruo, the village's revered heir, discovers her half-alive in the wilderness, he brings her to safety, but not without hesitation. Every woman in the village is drawn to Rodvile's beauty and grace, yet his heart remains untouched, bound only to Madam Su, the elder whose bloodline is tied to his own. But Tessa is different, her presence unsettles him, her questions anger him, her survival terrifies him. As night falls, strange whispers echo through the village, faces twist in torchlight, eyes follow Tessa wherever she goes. Someone wants her gone, someone who knows she lived when shouldn't have, someone who fears what she might remember. And Rodvile, cold, unreadable, impossibly distant, may be the one person who can save her...or the one person she should fear the most.
