In the city of Citadel, a curse is no laughing matter. A simple angry word or mocking phrase from a friend or foe, and the changes begin.
Meet Tate Harper. He hasn't been fully human for ten years. Cursed by a childhood friend, he is forced to live as a wolf man in Egregia, the wooded area surrounding Citadel. Walking down the road one day, he finds the body of the woman who cursed him, Bianca Abatangelo. Even though she's as cold as ice, he suspects she may be alive.
As Bianca discovers the primitive conditions the cursed are forced to live in, a fire is lit in her cold heart. Determined to communicate their plight to the citizens of Citadel, she writes a leaflet she resolves to deliver. But a drastic change is about to turn her world upside-down and vault her into the inner world of Citadel's most holy and powerful citizens, the priesthood of the Ellipse.
There is a wall to keep the cursed out . . . or is it there to keep everyone else in?
Bianca teams up with would-be rebel priest, a devil, and a witch on a journey to reunify humankind and tear down the systems of oppression and inequality.
