New blind date with a book #6

What to Expect:

Nineteen years ago, a two-year-old girl was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else. Raised in a high, stone castle by the enigmatic High Master who saved her, she has spent her entire life living within a self-imposed "safety line", terrified of the monsters that lurk outside. Her existence is a highly structured cage of painting, gardening, and heavy routines. But her security comes with a bizarre condition: every single evening, she must prick her finger and offer a single drop of her blood into a goblet for her mysterious guardian. She has no idea why he requires it, but she is utterly consumed by him- even as he remains fiercely unavailable, cold, and wrapped in shadows. When voracious beasts begin attacking the kingdom, her delicate, tailored world fractures, forcing her to confront the ugly truths of her identity and the secrets puddled within the castle walls.
