Sie wurde in der Nacht geboren, in der ihre Mutter starb – und sie ließen sie das nie vergessen. Achtzehn Jahre lang hat Ivory Ashwood am Rande des Rudels ihres Vaters gelebt: unerwünscht, ungewandelt und mit violetten Augen, die sie hinter Kontaktlinsen versteckt, weil das letzte Mal, als jemand ihre echte Augenfarbe sah, sie als verflucht bezeichneten – und es ernst meinten. Sie hat gelernt, unsichtbar zu sein. Sie hat gelernt, dass Überleben und Leben zwei sehr unterschiedliche Dinge sind und dass sie bisher nur eines davon getan hat. An ihrem achtzehnten Geburtstag verkauft ihr Vater sie, um eine Schuld zu begleichen. Doch die Nacht verläuft nicht so, wie irgendjemand geplant hatte. Denn Lycan-König Zion Valdris trifft in Silverstone ein, wirft einen Blick auf Ivory über eine belebte Lichtung hinweg – und spürt, wie drei Jahre anhaltender Schmerz aus seiner Brust verschwinden. Er kauft ihren Vertrag noch vor Mitternacht. Ivory hat ihr ganzes Leben lang Monster überlebt. Sie ist nicht beeindruckt von mächtigen Männern. Sie wird sich nicht in einen König verlieben, nur weil das Universum es so bestimmt. Das sagt sie ihm direkt in der ersten Nacht, stehend in einem weingetränkten Kleid, das Kinn erhoben. Er hört jedes Wort. Dann gibt er ihr ein Zimmer mit einer Tür, die sich von innen verriegeln lässt, und geht. Sie steht lange da, die Hand auf dem Schloss, und versucht herauszufinden, was sie mit einem Mann anfangen soll, der gibt, statt zu nehmen. Sie weiß, wie man mit Grausamkeit umgeht. Sie weiß nicht, was sie mit Geduld anfangen soll. Und etwas erwacht in ihr – etwas Älteres als das Gefährtenband, älter als die Rudelgesetze, älter als die Mondgöttin selbst. Wenn es seine Augen vollständig öffnet, wird nichts in Aeloria je wieder so sein wie zuvor. Am allerwenigsten sie selbst.
