Izlana, goddess of creation, is on her first journey to the world when she's betrayed by a fellow god and captured by humans. Her powers are neutralized by a magical collar which leaves her vulnerable and weak. She is sold off to Pennington, a man who intends to use her abilities for his own purposes. He charges a servant Marric with keeping her confined, and as Izlana's imprisonment continues, she and Marric develop feelings for each other. But no matter how they feel, Pennington always stands between them.
