In a world of blood and betrayal, love emerges as the only redemption in this fantasy-of-manners tale. On her sixteenth birthday, Angel is awakened by her younger sister, Silky, to prepare for a marriage to Leth, a man she likes but does not love. Meanwhile, Trey, her oldest childhood friend, harbors secret feelings for her and watches helplessly. The wedding is interrupted by Angel's brother, Kalo, who seeks her dowry and believes she can lead him to The Book of Forbidden Wisdom, a source of immense wealth in a land where property is everything. That night, Kalo threatens Angel, but Trey rescues her and Silky, and the three, along with an itinerant singer, embark on a quest for the book. While Kalo seeks land deeds, they believe it holds great power. As they stay one step ahead of Kalo, Angel, Silky, Trey, and the Bard finally reach the book's location. In this moment, Angel discovers her true feelings. Confronted by evil at the edge of the known world, the group unites to fight back, discovering that love itself possesses a formidable power.
