Prologue

A reverse Damsel in Distress story.

Years ago Anna McClure's hand in marriage was traded to a Demon Hunter in return for his services. After just one night as man and wife, her new husband leaves. While she waits for him to return and lift dishonor from her name, everything changes.

The natural order is torn asunder and true magic claws its way back into the world.

What can a disgraced young woman, the laughing stock of her town do to save her family? And did that stranger leave more than just his broken word behind?
