Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-

Boek 2 in de Fëawen Series. 'Ik wil niet dat wie dan ook ons stoort, begrepen?' zei hij streng tegen de elfen voor ons. 'Begrepen?' zei hij harder tegen de elf die eerder tegen hem sprak. De elf in uitrusting en de anderen keken nieuwsgierig naar mij maar knikte eerbiedig naar Maeron. Voordat ik het wist trok hij me mee door de zaal en raakte ik al snel de weg kwijt. Ik kon niet eens even de boel fatsoenlijk verkennen. 'Maeron! Ik wil het kasteel bekijken!' zei ik fel. 'Wat doe je?!' en ik wilde me los trekken. Nadat de Drie zich terugtrok, zijn de elfen weer terug naar huis gegaan. Het was één groot avontuur voor Lily en haar vrienden, alleen niet elk avontuur eindigt goed en dat heeft ze gemerkt. Door met Maeron mee te gaan laat ze haar oude leven achter om een nieuw leven te beginnen. Eentje die totaal anders is. Eentje waarin ze de vrouw is van de koning, oftewel, de koningin. De vraag alleen is, is ze daar wel klaar voor? En een andere niet al te onbelangrijke vraag is, vinden ze die heks nog? Boek 2 in de Fëawen Series. Poorten moet eerst gelezen worden voordat er met dit verhaal begonnen kan worden.
