Description
"You stand at the pinnacle of a system which only brings death and misery to the lowest of us. You reek of it: your perfumed halls, gold threaded cloths, and spices which pollute the air with sweetness." Her fists shook as her lips drew back from her teeth. "You live in excess while those in the streets cry out!" Her voice rang against the walls as she gestured all around her, "They starve while you gorge. They bleed while you drink wine just the same color. All you are, all you have ever been, is built on the deaths of people like me." Lena Elder is a bastard. And worse yet, she's one of the unseen. She lives on the outskirts of the Capital, bound by the old laws which have kept her and her people in their place for centuries. Wesley Holt is a man of stature, haunted by the plague which swept the kingdom four years ago. A secret lurks in his past which could destroy everything he's worked for. Their fates are inextricably bound in ways they do not yet know.
