Synopsis
Sage has spent thirteen years locked in a hidden tower, isolated from the world by ancient magic and deadly protective forces. Kept away since childhood for a tragedy she barely remembers, she's accepted her fate as both prisoner and threat.
When a mysterious stranger discovers her sanctuary and promises love and freedom, Sage must confront a terrible truth: Is she a victim in need of rescue, or is the world in need of protection from her?
In this dark reimagining of a classic fairy tale, some prisons keep the world safe — and some choices can never be undone.
