On a winter night, a sorcerer takes his revenge on the clan leader who banished him. He casts a powerful curse on the man’s daughter, who will have no more than nineteen years to live unless the spell is broken. Yet the sorcerer grants the newborn—who will one day become a young huntress—a single way out: she must find the woman who will save her. But the curse is more twisted than anyone could imagine, for the Al’Sher seeks pleasure, and it will pursue its purpose at any cost.
