The only world anyone knows is one that was ruined long ago. Ever since the vampire and human leaders teamed up, everything's changed. Their is no democracy or freedom, the government is just composed of the powerful and rich vampires and humans, while those of lower class and other supernatural races are used as slaves. Jordan is lucky, a hybrid human-vampire born to one of the richest most powerful families of all, so he's never worried about slavery. But when for his fourteenth birthday, his father buys him a new "pet" everything changes. Celia isn't nearly as lucky. As a young elf, born into slavery, she's been raised to serve others, suffering through abusive master after abusive master. She's given up all hope by the time she's thirteen, the icing on the cake being that she's going to be gifted to a teenage boy. She's done for. Celia and Jordan have both lost hope that their lives could ever really mean anything, one a slave and one a pawn. But when brought together, could that change?
