What separates a man from a monster?

Charlotte, the Arachne has asked herself this question all her life. Having been raised in a cage by men afraid of her inhuman form, she longs for nothing more than to be free. But when she offers herself up as a weapon in the Emperor's war machine, she will find that freedom may cost more than she is willing to pay when she encounters the wrong man, Saint David.

Saint David is an honored member of the Silverblood family, one of the ruling militant orders of the Silver Dawn. His people believed Charlotte’s kind to be extinct, but when the monsters of old return in the midst of war, they vow to finish what they started three millennia ago.
