- Synopsis
- Bound in service to the king, Initiates are selected and brought to the palace to forfeit their lives and fulfill their calling. That is until duty and honor clash with self-preservation. The resulting test of wills may destroy a kingdom and a new love which should never have seen the light of day.On the surface, the kingdom of Minra appears idyllic, steeped in peace and prosperity. This peace comes at a price. The villages of the kingdom offer up Initiates--individuals who vie for the chance to be selected as the King's Companion--to preserve the kingdom. Initiate and Companion are the most honored and coveted roles in all the land, for Companions nourish Minra's monarch with their life force until they die, allowing their wise king to survive for generations.Under Ritual Trainers bound in service to the king, Initiates are selected and brought to the palace to fulfill their duty. All Initiates greet this opportunity with happiness and reverence. Almost all. One Initiate forsakes time-honored traditions in favor of self-preservation.Is this forfeiture of life a worthy trade--or even necessary--for the good of the kingdom? In the battle for superiority, can love survive and overthrow generations of sacrifice and tradition?
