Story in 60 Seconds
The short version
Grace MacCaullay survives the Le Domas family's ritual only to be drawn into a larger hunt. Other families tied to Le Bail compete for a seat of worldwide power, and they capture Grace alongside her estranged younger sister Faith. The sisters are forced to cooperate while their old resentment threatens that cooperation. The rules offer marriage to a Council member as a way to stop the hunt, but accepting would place enormous power in another hunter's hands. Grace must use the Council's own conditions without repeating the abandonment that damaged her relationship with Faith.
Spoiler sectionEnding ExplainedShow ending detailsHide ending details
Grace marries Titus to end the game, then uses his claim that killing family members is permitted against him. She stabs him, Faith sends him into the pit, and Grace throws away the ring attached to the High Seat. The guests kill one another trying to retrieve it before dawn and the Council members explode when nobody succeeds. Grace and Faith leave together with the rescued goat, and Grace promises not to abandon her sister again.
Original context
Why it matters
Discarding the ring rejects the prize
Grace could claim the authority the Council covets, but throws its token away. The hunters' scramble turns their appetite for power into the immediate cause of their destruction.
Key turning points
Marriage ends one set of rules
Grace's agreement stops the competition without making Titus safe. Becoming family creates the opening to use his stated permission for killing relatives against the new holder of power.
