Prince Boleso is slain by Lady Ijada, a noblewoman he intended to defile, prompting Lord Ingrey kin Wolfcliff to transport the body and the accused killer to judgment. Ingrey carries a dark secret and is bound to a malevolent entity that haunts his bloodline. As political tensions rise and a deadly conspiracy unfolds, Ingrey and Ijada must navigate perilous court politics. Together, they confront ancient curses and divine intervention to alter the fate of their kingdom.
