Blood of the Crystal Flower

Nineteen years ago, I was torn from the heart of a bloody massacre. A two-year-old girl, I was the only survivor. Small. Fragile. Mysterious.
Now I lead a simple life under the care of a powerful lord who knows too much... and speaks too little. I do not leave his castle. I remain under his protection.
The price of my safety is a cup with a drop of blood that I offer to my guardian daily, a painful attachment, and many secrets. Secrets that could tear my familiar existence to shreds.
Are the beasts outside the castle so terrible when the monsters in my mind gain strength, turning my nightmares into reality? For no tower is high enough to protect me from the most fearsome thing — the truth...
