Rya has arrived in the grand Capital of Tairal, stepping into a world of high society filled with noble expectations. Her new status is quickly threatened by political issues. Prime Minister Marquess Duval Wrightwood has called an emergency meeting of the House of Lords to discuss a ban preventing Rya from entering Tairal's busy streets.
Things get more complicated with the arrival of Princess Hilda Stoneworth, the original fiancée of Rya's partner, Quinus. This political alliance aims to secure a peace treaty with the powerful Holy Alliance of the Divine Three. With Rya and Quinus back from Ironside, tensions rise.
As Rya navigates court politics, she faces challenges from the Prime Minister and the Envoy from the Holy Alliance, who seeks to remove all non-humans from Agon. When she encounters a feared Paladin, she struggles to manage her anger over past traumas.
Duke Alaric Revelia also poses a threat, seeking revenge against Quinus for his son Marcus's death. Rya must confront him while balancing loyalty to family and her new life in the court.
To protect those she loves and secure her place, Rya needs to use her wits and strength in this dangerous political landscape. Every decision could lead to victory or disaster.
