Two warring peoples. A forbidden love. And a fate as old as the stars. Gemma is the well-protected princess of the Kingdom of the Gray Coast. She spends her life in a golden cage, but on a cold winter's day, her fate takes a fateful turn. She is sold by her own father to Antares, the cruel king of the South. Far from her homeland, she becomes a pawn in the game of the powerful. For a magical mirror foretells that only she can lure Antares' arch-enemy into a trap: Tarek, the prince of a mysterious jungle tribe, stands unyieldingly against the king's army. Countless legends surround his power. Even the deadliest creatures of the forest bow to his will. It is said that an emerald heart beats in his chest. It is said that the blood of a dragon flows in his veins.
