Torin the keeper of the demon Disease has spent his whole life avoiding touch. He is unable to touch someone without the risk of starting a worldwide plague. He rarely even leaves his room. But now he is out and in Crounus' jail, where he hears her voice and then meets the dangerous and deadly Red Queen.

Her name is Keeleycael and she is beautiful and very angry with Torin. The problem is she tempts him in ways that he has never been tempted before. Touching someone is forbidden, intimate touch not possible. He wants her but to touch her could kill her and thousands more. Keeleycael's anger is short lived when she realizes the depth of her desire for Torin. The Red Queen gets what she wants and doesn't care who it hurts.
