A lot of factors make waking up naked in a puddle of blood worse.
Such as not remembering if it's your blood or someone else's.
Lyra and Marcella both wake up this way-unable to remember who they are and where they are.
Surrounded by dragon artwork in a gilded castle, they find themselves competing with twenty-eight other women for the chance at marrying Cyrus-the Dragon Land's king. A man whose white eyes are haunting enough to chill the blood in their veins. Despite his otherworldly beauty, there's a way his figure glides within the shadows. Hinting of something sinister...and an eons-old secret.
The group of women begin to dwindle as they enter deadly trials set to test their compatibility with Cyrus. While it should be a comfort to know they're closing in on a potential engagement, Lyra and Marcella notice something odd. Women are beginning to disappear outside of the trials. And no one knows why. As time goes on, their out-of-sync reflections and shifting shadows might not just be a hallucination.
They're being hunted.
Rediscovering their pasts may be the key to not only finding love, but surviving. Or it could be the final nail in their coffins. Because secrets never die-they're just buried in a grave.
