Come the 18th birthday of a budding witch, Emeriliason, an immortal warlock claims his promised bride. To protect her family, she's left with no choice but to wed the man who's hunted her ancestors for centuries.

Under his abusive control her thirst for freedom and a defiance she had never known existed awakens. When desperation drives her to run away, Emeriliason faces the world on her own for the first time. She tries to keep the shadows that haunt her a secret, but no matter how lulled into safety she feels, the Warlock lurks in her every step.
