Stripped of her powers and branded the despised “White Witch,” former saint Lana quietly awaits her death in a neglected manor on the palace outskirts. Though discarded, she is still exploited by the court, forced to absorb the suffering of others in place of Isabella, the current saint. Lana endures the relentless torment, believing her sacrifice saves innocent lives—until she meets Sylvi, an orphaned boy critically injured while trying to protect her in the slums. Caring for him with everything she has, Lana finds her frozen heart warming as Sylvi sweetly clings to her, bringing laughter and warmth back to her lonely home. But as her affection for the boy grows, Lana becomes haunted by nightly dreams of a hauntingly beautiful, unknown man who embraces her tenderly and whispers for her to remember him. Unbeknownst to her, a dark destiny is unfolding, setting the stage for a former saint meant only to die to be fiercely claimed and obsessively adored by the most terrifying demon in the world.
