With newfound power at her fingertips, she gleefully manipulates the affections of those around her. Yet, Satara’s lust for love proves her ultimate vulnerability.

Prepare for a darkly compelling journey where the boundaries of desire and devastation blur, and the quest for love becomes Satara’s most lethal game.
