Jeremiah Hale knows everything she knows is in danger. For sixteen years, the woman who birthed her has stayed silent on her own estate in Amrinthe, thousands of miles away from Jeremiah's birthplace. Having fled a year after Jeremiah's birth, Aneira Lindeyn is seeking to reclaim the sprawling lands and grand Hall she ruled before her daughter's birth. Jeremiah is days away from legal age, her options to flee her father's estate, or quickly find herself a champion capable of silencing her mother for another eighteen years, as is Amrinthe's law. If she cannot find a champion before her eighteenth birthday, Jeremiah herself will face her mother's champion for the preservation of the only life she's known. It seems this will be her only choice, until a boy with golden eyes and a different gender by birth offers himself for trial. It seems, Jeremiah has found her champion. The question remains; Can a woman by birth, man by choice, slaughter a champion raised from the cradle?
