My name is Zera Grey, and I am a former slave who freed herself from the Trades by signing my life to the Black Shadows Guild. It wasn't an easy life but it was way better than captivity and abuse, especially when you consider who my Master was...All that was left was to pay off my dues. Then I could run off to somewhere new and be free from everything. My life would be wholly mine and comfortable. After four years of living with the Black Shadows, learning to fight and use Magic, I'd been requested for a job that'd earn me my quiet life. But the job was risky, life threatening, and involved the Imperial Royal Family.Usually, I tried to keep my head down and off their radar but this was just too good to pass up. Now, I'm dealing with the youngest son of the Imperial Family, dancing with creepy Fae Kings, and facing my past all in one go. Maybe the money wasn't worth it...
