Lucy's wedding to Laurent is drawing near, and she can't seem to stop it. Even worse, as she gets to know the Lord, she realizes he isn't the monster she thought he would be.

Her immense power, gifted to her by The Elderwood after her time with Micah, is complicated and unique, just like her forbidden relationship with the human.

As guardian of the Elderwood, Micah should be keeping the land safe, but the portal has been cracked open. Shadow creatures are creeping out and threatening to destroy the land. If he continues to fail, he'll disrupt centuries of Denoran tradition and never have the life with Lucy he sacrificed everything to obtain.

Lucy must make a decision. She can break the chains of Denoran tradition and save her lover, or she can give into the call of her arranged marriage. She can't have both.
