Forbidden love can be dangerous enough—let alone when one lover is accused of being a demon. In this high fantasy story, Yawta, the daughter of a village leader, wishes to escape her village to be free to live openly with her lover Bamru. Unfortunately, as a female, she has no rights, and Bamru is believed to be a demon because of the color of his eyes. To complicate Yawta's escape plans, Bamru is torn between his love for Yawta and his loyalty to her father, the tribal leader—even as his life is constantly threatened due to his mysterious, secret origins. This two-part story reaches a climax when Yawta's death transports her to a new death-world, and Bamru enters that dangerous death-world to find her.
