From the back cover

Born the tenth in a line of martyrs, a woman has always carried a gift and a burden: an ancient voice promised her three wishes, each costing a piece of herself. She spends them all on Ethan—his health, a happy marriage, his success—paying with her right eye, the feeling in her left side, and unending pain. When his name reaches the top of the Forbes list, he has her dragged onto an auction block, his arm around his work wife, Veronica, ready to sell the rights to her.

As Veronica drives silver needles into her flesh to seal her power, the woman only laughs. Harmed by the one she wished for, the pacts begin to unravel, and everything Ethan was given will be taken back, piece by painful piece.

Left in a walk-in freezer, she waits as the door creaks open, ready to watch it all burn.
