The evil Ivan is among the men who inspected and selected the women, but he doesn’t seem to recognize Jules after all these years. She was friends with Roan, the prince who is now engaged to marry the queen’s daughter. Jules is nervous about heading back to Everless because her family lived there many years ago. Amma is left behind because of a scar that mars her beauty. Jules is selected as is Amma’s twelve year-old sister Alia. The guards look the large group of women assembled over for beauty. But Jules also presents herself for servitude instead. Jules’s best friend Amma is presenting herself to the royal soldiers to earn a place as a servant at Everless (the royal palace), so Jules goes to town to try to snag her friend’s old job at the butcher’s. Jules tries to sell her blood as soon as she can, the day of her seventeenth birthday. Her father has traded way too many of his years to keep them alive.

Jules lives in Crofton, a town plagued by poverty like many in the area. ***** Everything below is a SPOILER ***** What happened in Everless? Want to know what happened in Everless?
