Life was never the same again after The Fall, especially for those born with certain gifts that set them apart from others. Gifts that doomed those like Wren to a life of slavery with no hope of escape, or turned a man like Jere into an unwilling master.

Can love really exist between master and slave, or will it destroy them both?
