Shara was born and raised in a prison where no one is allowed to touch. Even after they’re freed, her kind will never be allowed the pleasure of intimacy or love…unless the people rise up.
In Kravan, all children of those with powers are raised in a prison-like structure called “The Tower” from birth until adulthood. Known as the Tethered, they are held in thrall until their powers reveal themselves around the time of their nineteenth birthday.
Every year, the Tethered who are tested and deemed harmless are chosen to leave the Tower and join the outside world as servants to live in the households of the ruling class. Those who are deemed threats are taken away—and no one knows what happens to them…though they suspect the worst.
Shara has spent her entire life longing for the day she will be chosen to leave. When she receives her Placement in the home of a Noble family, she feels at first like she has finally found her place in the world. But over time, mysteries begin to reveal themselves about her Proprietor and those who live in the house…including the handsome fellow Tethered who shares a wing of the house with her.
When he offers her an opportunity to attend the annual Prince’s Ball and to see the world of the Nobility for what it truly is, Shara begins to learn the ugly truth about the divisions between the ruling class and the Tethered.
After a life spent in near-isolation, Shara must learn to distinguish friend from foe, and to decide if her new allies are who they claim to be…
Or if they will turn out to be her greatest enemies.
