The Kingdom of Adam - named for its reign of mortality - has become desperate. In order to stop a war from happening between them and the Kingdon of Ghoul - named for its reign of immortal vampires - they make a deal: The mortal king's daughter will marry the immortal king's son in eighteen years, bringing their kingdoms together so that more generations of vampires can live on. . . . Wren Bluebell is an illiterate, soft-spoken girl on the verge of turning eighteen. She has worked as a maid in the castle of the Kingdom of Adam since she was ten, caring for her younger, blind sister. She dreams of selling flowers in markets and owning a home with a beautiful garden to raise her sister. But her dreams are shattered when the human king forces her into a deal. He does not want to send his daughter - who's about to turn eighteen - to the vampire world. He does not want to combine kingdoms at all. Instead, the king decides to send Wren to the immortal realm. He's hoping to use Wren as a spy so that she can find a weakness in the immortal king that the Kingdom of Adam can use to win a war against the living and dead. But nothing could have prepared Wren for the shadows she's about to face.
