Deep in an impenetrable swamp, lies the Sanctuary. Abandoned there as a child, Theobard has lived a quiet life among the Silent Brotherhood, a monastic sect that never speaks. The arrival of Dellia, a beautiful golden-eyed girl with a secret, will change everything. Her secret will expose Theobard's true nature, and that of the Sanctuary, pulling apart the only world he has ever known, leaving nothing the same.
