Who controls your destiny? On Corrone, Fate determines everyone's destiny but, in the aftermath of a planet-wide plague one young woman must decide if it might be time to take matters into her own hands. Clayra's world has been devastated by the Red Plague; her people are on the verge of extinction, leaving her with little hope of ever finding her destined Soulmate. Fortunately Clayra has Jace, whose soulful, green eyes and dimpled smile belie his bad-boy reputation. Together they believe they can survive anything but, they soon discover that Fate has other plans. Just when Jace finally decides to tell Clayra how he feels a handsome stranger arrives that has the ability to come between them forever. Nygel has been sent to Ayle to investigate Clayra's step-father, Magnus, who is rumoured to be conducting illegal and deadly experiments on Lost Souls. It is Nygel's duty to gather sufficient evidence to bring Magnus in for sentencing, but when Nygel meets Magnus' step-daughter Clayra he feels an immediate connection to her. Clayra questions Nygel's motives when she discovers the reason behind his interest in her family which builds a wall of distrust between them that Nygel fears may never be breached. Will Nygel be able to convince Clayra that they are meant to be together or will his allegiance to the Order ultimately come between them? Clayra has an obligation to her people to join with Nygel, her Soulmate, but how can she do that? She barely knows him and worse yet doesn't trust him? And what about Jace? She can't imagine a life without him by her side and she certainly can't bear the thought of breaking his heart. Although Fate may have chosen Nygel as her Soulmate, in the end, the choice of whom she gives her heart to must be hers and hers alone.
