For Avalin, life was over after losing two of the most precious things to her: Tomas, her six-year-old son, and her luxurious life and marriage to her beloved husband, Alexander.
Forced to work as a prostitute in a classy brothel in Calvintown, Avalin starts planning a permanent way out of her life the moment she can pluck up the courage to do it, for the shame of giving her body to lustful, drunken, slobbering men every night is intolerable and fills her with self-loathing.
But one night turns into something Avalin never could have imagined when she meets two mysterious strangers. Immediately upon seeing them across the smoky gambling hall of the brothel, she can tell they aren't like the other customers she usually beds. Handsome and brooding, with unusual clothing and exotic looks, she feels drawn to them in a way she can't explain, and as the night progresses, Avalin is drawn into a dangerous adventure that shatters everything she thought she knew about her world, yet puts her broken heart back together and restores her hope that life might just be worth fighting for after all.
