My name is Zhavia Starke, yet I'm not known for my name.

I've always wanted to run from this life I'm forced to live... a life of slavery and oppression. I thought the annual selection would be my ticket out of this hell. So when another woman from my camp is chosen to be the lady of an elite house, I am forced to take matters into my own hands. In this harsh world, I have no allies. I am the only person I can depend on to pave my future—my freedom.

Being selected to an elite house has great responsibilities, yet I have never been motivated by status. Now won't be an exception. Instead, my desire to escape has consumed my every waking moment, even when I'm assigned as a servant to one of the Five Royal Houses.

My undoing comes in the form of five handsome and mysterious brothers hell-bent on thwarting my escape. The secrets and magic that hide behind House Kincaid prove to be an enticing challenge, and end up putting a major kink in my plans for freedom.

Yet, along with a mixture of precise timing and the hope of immunity, I will still find a way to get out... or die trying.
