Ayla Summerfield, a typical 'good girl' from a provincial town, never thought her future could be anything but bright. In just 24 hours, her whole life changes. Ayla's father is brutally murdered, then she herself gets kidnapped and sold at an auction. This is how she discovers a world of sorcery and magic she never knew existed. Where she must find a way to fit in-or die.
Despite the beliefs of her new Master, Ayla possesses no magic of her own. But the rules are clear: if an Apprentice doesn't prove worthy, they become a slave who will live the rest of their life serving and obeying. Luckily, her Master is different from others. Charming and kind, he seems to be the opposite of what everyone tells her. Until he isn't.
With the killers still on the loose, there is no safe space for her. Hopeless and scared, Ayla explores a strange twilight state between dream and reality that becomes her sanctuary. As time goes on, she learns that her visions are much more real than she thought. And potentially more dangerous than anything she'd ever known.
