Young Kas' entire existence has revolved around The Keep and the harsh love of Doctor Retsam. It was a simple existence based on simple principles. An existence Kas was set to be content with...until he met Poly Lost, the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, a woman with origins as mysterious as his own, a woman Kas was sure he was meant to marry. So when Kas learns that Poly is missing her soul, Kas readily agrees to help her find it. But soon unforeseen events force them upon a far different path, one that will take Kas away from The Keep, Doctor Retsam, and everything else he ever knew, for Poly has something The Coven of Soid desperately wants, and they'll stop at nothing until they get it .
