"A thousand years ago, the wind could speak the future to us. People would spend days out in the desert, just for a chance at hearing their fate. I've heard what the wind plans for me; a princess without a family, a queen without a country. But I believe that you have two options: you can let fate blow you over, or you can spread your wings and direct it."
Rajani of Chikarth has never truly fit in. As the adopted daughter of General Hayate Ajam, the Lord Paramount of the recently conquered desert Chikarth, she is one of the few members of her race that was not subjected to the brutal enslavement that came with the conquest when she was three years old. As a Chikarthi, she has always been separated from her Maekaran peers, and she resolutely eliminates anything that may widen that gap. The only people that seem to overlook her nationality are her father and her best friend and lover, the Crown Prince of the Maekaran empire.
However, her world begins to crumble when she meets Shiro, a white-haired Chikarthi slave who never seem to leave her thoughts, and it shatters when she finds a locket with two people inside, one of which bears her face.
