Raised in shadows, molded by cruelty, Anna was never meant to have a choice.
After losing her parents at age twelve, Anna is raised by an abusive guardian who molds her into the perfect tool for Devin Andersen's machinations, her unique gifts making her invaluable in his quest for power.
At sixteen, Anna's world begins to shift when Devin claims her, coinciding with dreams of a mysterious man who inexplicably brings her comfort. But it's not until she turns twenty that Anna's life truly transforms. As she steps into a world of manipulation and dark desires, she finds herself torn between two masters: Devin, whom she's known since childhood, demanding her obedience, and Alex, a handsome stranger who offers the promise of freedom and safety.
As Devin achieves a crucial step towards his ultimate goal of power, his cruelty drives Anna to her first act of rebellion. Caught between love and forces of evil, Anna must navigate a life she never wanted, while Alex works tirelessly to give her something Devin can never take away.
