Born in a workhouse in 19th century Germany, Lora discovers her true nature, visits magic realms and helps save the world from the forces of evil.

Caught between two men she loves, Lora must make a decision. Marry Marcus and live in the human world, or commit to her true Nyx nature with Wolf. When her fiance's brother falls in love with her, misunderstanding mount and she finds herself caught in a tangle of lies, as the Mittelstadt River slowly turns to toxic sludge.
