Katazarra, once the Lord’s favorite, has been locked in Fae Realm for longer than memory recalls.
Then comes James, a human new to the Realm. A prize, not yet bound. A toy given to Katazarra such that she will bind him.
If she fails, the Lord’s penalty will be severe.
If she succeeds, it could be worse.
