Kate has been groomed for one thing her entire life: breeding. On the day of her birth, the stars aligned in such a way that her ruling constellation, The Archer, deemed this her destiny. There's only one problem: Kate doesn't believe in Fate. The day she is to begin her perpetual duty to the Village, she refuses. Her refusal is not only denied, but it brings the wrath of the village leader upon her with a vengeance. In spite of this, she remains resilient in the face of an injustice she's just now beginning to understand. And in the midst of the trial, her courage is tested. This only strengthens her faith, gives her hope, and brings her love in the most unexpected of places.
