Sloane Evergreen never thought her life-long preparation to be the pack's oracle would be ruined on the night of her proclamation. Vampires attacked their village, killed half of their army wolves, and taken no one but her. She expected the vampires to use her as a medium to communicate with the goddess Nyx, lock her up after, and be treated as a prisoner. Little did Sloane know, the King himself has deeper reasons for taking her.

Mari's goals in life are clearer than crystals. Pass her senior highschool year in one piece, get the high priestess' recommendation letter, be an apprentice to any of the higher council members, earn her spot where she thinks she'll fit in, live... But her whole world crumbled down under her feet the moment she got rejected from the House of The Sacred Shadow. Driven by desperation, Mari will accept Tariq's offer—to kidnap one of the season master's son and use him as a means to get in to the academy. Their plan worked smoothly. There's just one problem, thou. They didn't kidnap a season master's son. They got a season master itself. To make things even worse, it was Icarus. The most mysterious among the four masters, and Mari could tell with the way his dangerous blue eyes pierced her, she just put herself in a situation worse than not getting an acceptance letter.
