"Nine years ago, Selena, the sole heir of the Eternal Night Holy City's highest bloodline, gave up her birthright for love and eloped with Drake, the Lord of Shadowfort. She hid her identity, enduring nine years of her husband's entanglement with his stepmother Cassandra, while she and her daughter suffered endless humiliation in Shadowfort. It was not until Drake was about to hold the blood-oath ceremony with Cassandra, her daughter was publicly shoved to the ground, and she herself was brutally beaten—that Selena finally gave up completely. She reawakened the silver blood that had been sealed within her for nine years, took her daughter, and fled Shadowfort, returning to the Eternal Night Holy City. Now standing at the pinnacle of power, as the Supreme Heir of the Holy City, she looks down upon the man who once swore to love her forever—now kneeling in the snow, begging for a single glance. And she chooses not to look back."
