My name is Ayda Sabine, once the princess to the illustrious Emerald Lake pack, now a single mother living a life of destitution in Eventide City. My status has been stripped from me, banished by my parents for my digression of falling outside my betrothal agreement. 

To make matters worse, I don't remember who the father of my son is.  All I can recall are his golden eyes. However, when the opportunity arises for me and my son to ascend the social ladder as the personal stylist to Narcissa Onasis of the Diamond Spring clan, I finally get the opportunity to find the man who could be my true mate. 

If Narcissa's fiance, Prince Sebastian of the Obsidian Moon doesn't stop me.

The Withering Fang Pub was a charming little bar made out of the charred innards of a manor’s undercroft that had burned down during the Uprising. It was owned by a man named Georgios Papadakis and his wife Gabriella, who met during the Uprising along the Bornite-Chalcopyrite border on opposing sides. 


They’d both been mercenaries rented out to lesser lords to protect their lands from the common folk whilst also simultaneously trying to gain the others’ territory. They’d been trapped in a manor house when the fires began, unwilling to leave due to fears of being caught in the crossfire outside. So, they had to learn to rely upon each other just to survive.
