Amaranth has never known a life outside of the walls of her mother’s quaint cottage--until the day she meets William. Even though she was raised to believe that boys are evil and untrustworthy, Amaranth cannot help but fall for the kind and gentle William. It was only when their friendship is uncovered and her mother locks her away in a tower that Amaranth begins to realize the true evil in her life. Torn between first love and the love of her mother, Amaranth must navigate her way through the lies and decide who she truly is.
