At the Blood Moon Rite, Nancy Vale’s childhood sweetheart, Julian, humiliates her by knocking away her sacred beast heart and fleeing with another woman. Born to the Moon Goddess bloodline and fated to wed the future Lion King, she answers betrayal with defiance—marrying the ragged mute beggar who catches the heart instead. Three years on, the beggar’s true identity is exposed: exiled crown prince Edmund. Bound together, they unravel Julian’s treasonous scheme, and Nancy rises from ridicule to power.
