Fleeing was easy. Surviving will test her limits.

 

When the Elvish kingdom of Ahilon is attacked, Princess Zaure Rhistel—the sole heir—is forced to flee. Her mother always told her when there is war prepare for death, but she didn’t listen. Now, she finds herself woefully unprepared for the challenges ahead. That is, until she meets Cagdas, a Fae warrior from her kingdom who seems to know more than she’s letting on.

 

As Zaure travels with Cagdas, using her handmaiden’s name as an alias, two more unlikely heroes join their circle: Torin, a spellcaster with a secret he’d kill to protect, and Alrik, a bard who has seen too much. Zaure has no choice but to trust and let the others in, as she will need their help commanding the powerful magic she needs to face her enemy.

 

The key to saving Ahilon is closer than she knows. Finding it is going to prove difficult. With the fate of her people in her hands, she will stop at nothing to save them. Even if it means sacrificing herself.
