For Victoria, a brilliant inventor and the daughter of a wealthy American entrepreneur, marriage is like one of her a tool and a mean to an end. When she needs to get her hands on a mine of a rare metal for a new invention, she agrees to an arranged marriage with István Farkas, the impoverished crown prince of Taliskia, a mysterious kingdom nestled deep in the Carpathians. Her plans are dashed on their wedding day, when a bomb kills her father and leaves her gravely injured. Though her fiancé escapes unscathed and flees back to his country, Victoria is determined to find the murderer. All clues point to Taliskia, and Istvàn himself is the prime suspect. Under a false identity, she travels to Taliskia to investigate. Shortly after arriving, she uncovers a dark underworld of secrets and legends. Rumors persist that a monstrous wolf stalks the palace grounds, but as Victoria delves deeper into the mystery, she realizes that the truth may be far more strange.
