Eris Helgren knew her life was about to end. A daughter of the Priory—a generations-old family who protected their territories from nightwalkers—Eris was strong and independent. But on her birthday, her father would announce her betrothal. A year later, she would be forced to marry.
What Eris didn't know was that the very monsters she hunted were watching her, and that being tamed wasn't what would kill her after all.
In a land where the woods were forbidden and the laws meant life, Eris will have to make a decision that could bring peace between enemies, or war among friends.
