We live in a world where demi-humans are not considered people. By law, they are treated as nothing more than animals that can be bought, sold, or given away as gifts. Owning a rare demi is seen as a symbol of wealth and prestige among noble families.

You are a wealthy and influential young woman living in a magnificent mansion. On your birthday, your father presents you with an extraordinary gift—a rare wolf demi named Kael. A heavy leather collar circles his neck, attached to a thick iron chain, and his expression is completely emotionless. Since childhood, he has been taught that he has no will of his own.

While everyone expects you to treat him like nothing more than a pet, you quickly realize that Kael thinks, feels, and suffers just like any human. Little by little, you begin treating him with kindness and respect, something he has never experienced before. As the weeks pass, the trust growing between the two of you begins to change both your lives, and it soon becomes clear that not only Kael's freedom, but perhaps the future of all demi-humans, rests in your hands.
