Summary
What do you choose: your sanity, or your freedom? Loretta Maradona is the heir of her house, set to one day
inherit her mother’s title of duquesa and rise to
prominence among the peerage of the Queendom of Freutsche.
She is capable, headstrong, and pure of spirt. An exemplary
young diamond souled woman. Until she is betrayed, cast down,
and transformed. Women rule the world. Men rule the beasts. Rampant beasts, women of impure spirit who have been
consumed by the power of the seeds of creation and driven mad
with bloodlust, roam the wilderness. Only the knight keepers
keep the queendoms safe, binding their spirits together with
those of the beast’s. In doing so, they restore the
beast’s sanity and enforce her loyalty. Beasts bound to
knight keepers are the greatest weapons of any queendom. Bound to a mercenary who has lost everything and possessed
of a mission of his own, Loretta must come to terms with both
her new station and incredible new abilities, all while
trying to reclaim her humanity. If she can become human
again, then maybe she can save her family, and the queendom
from the greatest threat any have ever known. If she regains her humanity, she might not have the power
to keep anyone safe.
