In the realm of Devram, an ancient balance exists - Legacy bloodlines wield immense power, but only through the blood of the Fae who serve them. When six First gods emerged from Chaos, they created a world where magic requires sacrifice. To prevent any bloodline from becoming too powerful, the gods established Legacy families in Devram and created the Fae to feed their magic. This delicate arrangement maintained order for generations, with Fae receiving elemental gifts and extended lifespans in exchange for their servitude. But as the saying goes: "In all things there must be balance. Beginnings and endings. Light and dark. Fire and shadows." This balance shatters when Tessalyn Ausra, a seemingly ordinary Fae, is unexpectedly chosen by Theon St. Orcas, the intimidating Heir to the Arius Kingdom. "I choose Tessalyn Ausra to be my bonded Source," he announces, forever altering her planned future of pizza and doughnuts with friends. Instead, she's thrust into a life of magical bondage, where her blood and essence will feed another's power. What neither realizes is that this selection will unravel secrets buried by gods themselves - secrets that could reshape their entire world.
