Most people inherit money or a house. Ellie Hawke is left with someone–a being bound to her by forces she cannot comprehend. A creature who despises her, trusts no one, yet holds both the power and the duty to grant her every desire.
Despite the endless possibilities, Ellie makes an unexpected choice: she won’t take advantage of it and refuses to claim that power. She will risk everything instead in order to find a way to send it home—a task as dangerous as keeping it close.
What begins as an unwanted burden, forged by fate, slowly transforms into something far greater: a bond of trust, something freely chosen and stronger than destiny.
