Christine is a waitress struggling to make ends meet when a call to jury duty comes as a most inconvenient summons. Though reluctant to participate, she is intrigued by the defendant; a badly deformed man accused of blackmail and murder. Though the world seems to begrudge him his very existence, she begins to feel pity for the accused who is only a man, after all. A man named Erik.

Erik did not believe in nymphs. But an arrow gone awry and a simple healing touch binds him to a beautiful creature in a way he never thought possible. Christine was happy living amongst the trees with her father and sisterlings, until the actions of a Knight separate her from her kin and leaves her struggling to understand a man so different from any she has ever known.
