Gerel was taken from her home when she was six years old and raised for thirteen years in the house of her master. Now she finds herself desperate to be free. With no chance for escape, she prays for wisdom and guidance from the gods. Then one morning, like a gift from the gods, she stumbles upon the son of her master having heated words with the leader of the Fallen Wolves. She knows in her heart that this is the moment she has been waiting for. She seizes the opportunity to rid herself of her master and makes a dangerous play for power and an opportunity to save her people from civil war.
