Syn thought she had hit bottom. She was wrong. The moment she learned what she truly wanted, she lost it. The moment she learned who she truly was, she was handed over to the Horde King as a gift. This is the creature her identity was concealed from for over two decades. Ryder promised to come for her, but letting him anywhere near the Horde King would get him killed. So Syn made a choice. She signed herself over willingly, more or less, to become the King's plaything. Now she is deep inside the Horde Realm, and nothing is unfolding the way she expected. Her powers spike and crash without warning. Her emotions follow. Every day drops a new problem she does not know how to handle. The Horde King believes he has stripped away every option she has. He is wrong. Syn still sees two paths in front of her. She can accept what destiny has laid out for her, or she can find a way out of it entirely.
