An immortal who commands life and death is cast out by the family she protected, just as a powerful clan kneels begging her to save their dying patriarch.
Nina Bale wields dominion over mortality itself, yet the Ford household treats her service as a transaction now concluded. Their patriarch once severed a geomantic vein, dooming his bloodline, and bartered his own existence to secure her guardianship for a single year. With that term expired, the Fords move to discard her, confident the threat has passed. Their calculation shatters when the formidable Cork dynasty materializes at the gate, prostrating themselves in desperation. Only Nina's authority can rescue their ailing leader before his allotted time expires, forcing a confrontation between contractual obligation and the weight of genuine power.
