Amara enters Lucien's world under the guise of a woman seeking protection. At first, Lucien seems distant, an untouchable force of control, but as she gets closer, she realizes that he has been watching her for much longer than she thought and she infiltrating Lucien's world, her internal struggle with deceiving him, and the growing attraction between them. Lucien slowly begins to suspect her, yet he's intrigued by her presence in ways he didn't expect. Tension builds as they dance around each other, caught between desire and danger.
