When a reclusive lord invites her to Colwick Hall to cure a mysterious illness affecting his servant, Wren accepts the opportunity for redemption. At the crumbling, ice-bound mansion, Wren discovers her patient is actually Hal Cavendish, the infamous Reaper of Vesria and her kingdom's sworn enemy. Hal has also come to Colwick Hall seeking redemption. As sinister forces emerge within the estate, Wren and Hal must work together to survive and protect their kingdoms. However, as Wren uncovers the truth behind Hal's illness, they find themselves trapped with no way out. Their only option is to rely on each other, though their growing attraction threatens to become their undoing.
