The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.

When Henrietta's twin brother was killed, she vowed to avenge his death. Four long and lonely years later, Henrietta is still on the hunt, killing any bandit she stumbles upon. Her revenge never quenched, she seeks out the master pupeteer behind them all. Over the years, the Crimson Band quieted, with only tiny breadcrumbs left for her to follow. The monsters of old resurface from the underground, and Henrietta suspects the bandits at fault. Finally reaching the end of the trail, she faces the people she spent years looking for. But things are not as they seem. Henrietta's world turns upside down, her vengeance upturned as her plans change in finding the one truly responsible for her brother's death. On the way to find her revenge, Henrietta uncovers new truths, rediscovers herself, finds love she did not seek and helps prevent the rise of Mor, the God of chaos himself. a/n This is a standalone novel, not related with the books in Dragon Series.
