Tristanja, 1239 ADHaving lost her home and family in a raid, Meya flees east but is captured and abused by a slave trader before being sold to Lord Deminas, patron of the local lands.
She's forced to work as his chambermaid and discovers the Lord is as cruel as the rumours have made him out to be.
Yet, he's rather protective of Meya and punishes anyone who dares hurt her.
Even when he drinks her blood, he goes as far as to use his own to heal her wounds.
Meya learns the castle holds many dark secrets; servants regularly vanish, including all the Lord's previous chambermaids.
Meya and her paramour must ensure the same doesn't happen to either of them, especially since it's unclear if the Lord only desires Meya's blood.
