When assassins attack Princess Caroline, she discovers a prophecy predicting her rise to power. Her Gods-granted destiny comes with a price however; she cannot ascend the throne unless her father and siblings are dead. It's a price she's unwilling to pay. Relentlessly pursued into the mountains with just a single friend for moral support, Caroline stumbles upon the dubious help of a warrior and two sorcerers, but none can prevent her being bitten by a werewolf. With Gods aligning against her and magic corrupting her soul, Caroline is forced to rely on the trust she places in her new friends - and the curse that's slowly destroying her humanity. To find a path to a safe future, she will have to outwit her enemies, her father, and even the Gods.
