Read by Andrea Emmes

Pair up or be Tithed! Two things are ever certain in Ironcross: the beasts outside the wall and the Tithe. When Senna Rhys turns eighteen, she must go through the Tithe, a rite of passage to adulthood and a selection process that claims ten souls for the treaty with the wall. The unpaired are chosen first-securing the next generation to supply the Tithe is the foundation of Ironcross's survival. There's Gabriel, the gorgeous boy next door with blue, blue eyes. He's been my best friend since forever. He's the keeper of my heart. There's Kane, arrogant and self-assured and darkly beautiful. He wants everything but my heart and has an irritating habit of catching me when I fall. There's Ironcross. The wall that keeps the beasts out. The fear that keeps us in. The Alders who rule with ruthless clarity. Above all else, there's the Tithe. The pact and sacrifice and pairings that bind our world
