A century after a devastating war against the Dragonking of Dracocia, the once-prosperous realm of Carsil lies broken and cursed. The skies have dimmed, the soil yields little, and the greatest tragedy of all, its women have become barren and frail. Seen now as rare and fragile commodities, they are traded, rented, or bought by men seeking heirs and status. The noble families hoard them like jewels; the poor borrow them for a season. Love and choice have become relics of a forgotten age.
