Raised in a society where all the decisions are made by the Elders, all of them men, Sentia was barely six summers when she was promised by her father, the Chief Elder, to the young son of his Chief Advisor. But she grew up loving someone else. Now sixteen summers, she is in love with Dhavin, a foundling her father took under his wing and nurtured as his own. However, custom considers him her brother and protector, not joining material, and believes an orphan who cannot prove Acquerian ancestry cannot join with what amounts to royalty. Not used to defying her father, her stepmother or the customs of her people, Sentia is torn. In her heart, she cannot join with a man she does not love, and she knows the man she does love is forbidden to her. The solution she chooses at Blood Moon Ceremony sets in motion a series of events she could not foresee, but must come to terms with. Sentia's story, Blood Moon Treachery, follows the consequences as the young people of Acqueria challenge the norm.
