An enslaved princess is sent to retake her throne, working with a human terror to succeed.

         Calya is purchased from a slave auction and finds out that she is royalty and needs to retake her throne from the current tyrannical steward before the Highlands are thrown into a massive war over power. However, as she travels, she comes face to face with the most evil man she never knew existed. As he holds her captive, she finds that she can stand against his cruelty by keeping her fear locked away. The princess learns to be just as hard as he is and forces him to question everything he thought he knew. In learning to handle this human nightmare, she becomes the queen she was always supposed to be. But even then, she needs his help to take back what is rightfully hers. Over the months, she learns skills and finds potential allies, including the one of an immortal race who saves her life and pledges fealty to her throne. As she learns to rely on her companion, Calya finds she has to make a decision. Does she keep him with her and accept the help he provides? Or will she leave him behind and pursue her rule? Meanwhile, he is caught in a trap of his own mind, questioning his very reality, learning the feelings of regret, shame, embarrassment, and doubt. After the torment he put her and her original companion through, he realizes that life as he knew it is unravelling and the rightful queen may be the only one to keep him sane.
