When my father schemed to marry my sister off to a decrepit old man to boost his standing, I swore I'd protect her. Together, we drove suitors away, but his fury only grew. To punish us, he rigged the barbarian lottery-and when Evelyn's name was drawn, her fate was sealed. Unless I stopped it.There was only one way to spare her. I would take her place.I'd do anything for my family. Even if it meant becoming a barbarian's tribute.
