A mysterious, thorn-wrapped seal arrives at dawn, shattering Thessaly Vance's quiet life and revealing a generations-old pact that demands her as payment. Her grandmother, pale with dread, whispers of a debt owed to the enigmatic House Aldric, a debt Thessaly is now bound to fulfill. Forced to leave her familiar world for the whispered-about Hollowmere, she faces a future dictated by an ancient contract and a groom she's never met. But as she uncovers a hidden mark on the letter, a symbol of a closed eye, Thessaly realizes there's more to this forced union than a simple family obligation. Will she be a pawn in a forgotten game, or can she forge her own destiny in a world where her life has already been decided?
