Would you be willing to sacrifice anything to retrieve what you hold most dear? Would you be willing to do anything required of you to once more hold your lover, your child, or perhaps retrieve your own immortal soul? Six souls must ask themselves these questions and learn to depend on themselves and each other. Old hatreds will reach a boiling point while true love will be pushed beyond its breaking point as the heavens themselves part with revelations that could change the course of history. Can two vampires trapped in a game of madness learn to trust each other once more and fight their newfound lust for death? Can a knight and a mage go beyond ill-founded prejudice? And can a princess learn to control a hidden strength in order to be with her one true love? In the end, one question will remain: At what price penance?
