Elizabeth, the real Eryn blood daughter, returns from the countryside expecting home—only to be betrayed by the very family she belongs to. When Caitlyn, their adopted daughter, sets the Summer Palace ablaze while meeting the Seventh Prince, Elizabeth is pushed into taking the fall and exiled to the brutal Wall of Despair. Before leaving, she warns them that the Witch’s Heart pendant will turn her suffering into a curse if she crosses the border. They laugh it off. But the moment she steps beyond it, she awakens as a black-robed witch and makes them feel every bit of the cold and pain she endured. By the time her remorseful family begs for mercy, Elizabeth has already severed all ties and walked away, never to return.
