How much pain and sacrifice can one person endure? How far would one go to protect the ones they love? Renetha, an Alycorian princess, fell in love with Cornelius, an exiled prince and the Alycorn’s warring enemy. They planned to marry and unite the races, but fate had other plans for them. Betrayed by her own father, Renetha was forced to marry Cornelius’s older brother Puteoli—a possessed madman who tortures her day and night. Cornelius fights through all odds to rescue Renetha, but it is only she that can end the madness around them by sacrificing everything to save Puteoli, the very man who abused her for so many years. She had suffered a great number of years for the people she loved. Could she do it again? Peace, for everyone? This was the fate Renetha was left with. This was the sacrifice she soon would have to make . . .
