In a supposed effort to broker peace, Misery's powerful and cruel father has arranged for her to marry Guest, the Alpha of the Southwest Weres. The narrative begins at the wedding ceremony, where Misery and Guest are meeting for the very first time as they are about to be wed. They are two strangers, from enemy species, forced into a political marriage.
Misery is a tall, beautiful Vampyre with the characteristic pointed ears, fangs, and striking lilac eyes of her species. Despite a sarcastic and humorous exterior, she is deeply sensitive. A traumatic childhood under her cruel father, Henry, has left her feeling like an undervalued outsider, making her insecure, cautious, and callus. Despite her inner turmoil, she carries herself with a defiant pride, often raising her chin in challenging situations.
Weres and Vampyres have been at each other's throats for a very long time. Werewolves could destroy them in an instant, having superior strength and speed. But the vampyres have now formed an alliance with the humans. Misery Lark's father, Henry, is a powerful and cruel Vampyre leader. He has arranged for her to marry Guest, the Alpha of the Southwest Weres, a move Henry Lark claims is part of an alliance to keep the peace between the vampyres and weres.
