My name is Morella Rowena Annabelle Byron. It is as pretentious as everything else in my life appears to be. As heir to one-fourth of Caleum, one might expect nothing less. Appearances can be deceiving, though.
I am under my father’s complete control and have torn my soul to pieces to perform his dirty work. I have tried to fight against it, but when he gives me an order, I cannot refuse. His latest plot has me engaged to a man I barely know. I am treading on eggshells to make this relationship work while my father, Viktor, is determined to have what he sold me for.
A man he sends me to keep quiet blathers on in riddles about the spirit runes, but the runes are nothing more than a myth. Right?
The chessboard is set. Viktor is moving pieces two steps ahead of me. I have removed pawns from the board, but I am not the only piece he controls. I am working to uncover his plan and even more desperate to gain my freedom.

"This story had pretty much everything you’d want in a dark fantasy/romance (let me just take a pause to emphasize DARK), but was unlike anything I’ve read or heard about before. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters even when they annoyed and infuriated me."

I loved this book! The book was thrilling, adventurous, and captivating all within the first few chapters. I am typically a slower reader, but I finished this book in less than a week.
