Publisher's Synopsis
The Elven Kingdom is a sham; the Queen a mere suggestion, put in place by a tyrant's decree thousands of years ago. Now born and raised like cattle, the people of the kingdom live in quiet acceptance of their futures as slaves.
Clarissa had always been an obedient girl, her life spent following every rule, studying hard, and honing her skills all in preparation for the day that she'd join hundreds of other Elves at auction...but Clarissa's life has had an extra layer of pressure added to it. She'd been born with the Spark, a trace of magic leftover from a time when her people were free that was now highly sought after for some unknown reason. Anyone born with the Spark was plucked from the population like a weed, never to be seen or heard from again. It was for that reason alone that she'd kept her magic a secret her entire life, but the stakes are about to get much higher. Purchased by the Naga Kingdom for the purpose of advancing their breeding efforts, Clarissa now has to prove herself by navigating the alien social complexities of the dark, cold tunnels as she works hard to impress her new, handsome master Junard. She has no way of knowing that her desire to lead a quiet, complacent life is about to be blown away, her every decision leading her further and further into dangerous, uncharted territory as she quickly finds herself caught between Junard and his own brother as an unwitting participant in a game she doesn't even know the rules to.
