This book wasted no time getting my attention. From the first page I wanted to know who, when, why, and where.

That makes for a great introduction. I read on and was really not disappointed with any part of this book. The main characters are all interesting and the world that the author paints is eerie and beautiful all at the same time.

Rhine the lead character in this story is 16. You might think that is young only in this new-aged world females only live to be 20 and males to 25. If that is not bad enough girls are often kidnapped to become wives for men who want to try and keep their bloodline going as long as they possible.

Rhine along with Jenna and Cecily are three wives to one powerful lonely man. They live like sisters in a mansion where everything is perfect but nothing is real. Rhine wants out before her life runs out first.
