Octavianne, the Queen of Elgem’s eighth daughter, grew up in the royal palace. When she turns sixteen her older sister tries to marry her off against her will. Octavianne feels cornered and runs away to live a vagabond life, searching for a master of magic who will train her to improve her nascent powers.

She meets Adalgis, a hunter who is half-man, half-lion, and saves his life. With this complex, fascinating, wild, and free being at her side, a different sort of life begins to emerge for the budding young magician. Until the moment when a man, whom she had loved and believed to be lost, reappears in her life.

But other disturbing shadows from her past soon threaten to catch up with her, and Octavianne must make a choice.

Can one really escape one’s destiny when one is born to be a queen?
