With the Deorun War behind them, Finn and Tannix are looking forward to some time to finally relax. Until Tannix's brother Tandrin points out that other noble families are going to start pressuring Tannix to pick one of their daughters to lead West Draulin as his wife. Luckily, Tandrin has a solution-they can't pressure him if Tannix isn't around. And so, Tandrin decides to make Tannix an ambassador and sends him to visit the kingdoms along the Northern Coast. With the knights in tow, as well as some allies from Deorun and Navire, Tannix and Finn head out. Along the way, they learn about different cultures and see new sights, while improving relations between Zianna and the Northern countries. They meet plenty of new people, as well as some old friends. And maybe, some old enemies.

The uneasy stalemate between Zianna and Deorun is holding. Finn accompanies Tannix on a diplomatic mission to the Queendom of Navire, to ask Queen Avaloni if she will ally with Zianna when the fighting truly starts. Finn knows he's going to be left behind when Tannix and the knights join the army. He's determined to make every moment before then matter. Not only with Tannix, but with his two vastly different families-the thieves and the knights. When the time comes and Tannix and the men ride off, Finn expects to face months of uncertainty. Nervously waiting for news from the front and treasuring every letter Tannix manages to write. But Finn has a habit of ending up in the middle of things. The war is no exception.

A year and a day is a long time to think about a single kiss. But that's what Finn thought about, every day, until finally Tannix rescues him and sweeps him off to West Draulin. Finn quickly realizes that he likes West Draulin. He likes the good food and the expensive clothing. He even likes Tannix's knights. West Draulin seems like a place he'll really enjoy living. Until one night, when everything changes. The kingdom of Zianna finds itself at war. And Finn learns that being in a relationship with a lord isn't going to simply be the life of luxury he was starting to enjoy.

'You'll be imprisoned for a year and a day.' The next words caught in my throat. Finn looked so defenceless, so harmless. His arms were tied back and I wanted to step forward and cut the ropes. I wanted to order the guards away, and I wanted to pull Finn out of the rain. I wanted to brush his dripping hair out of his eyes and kiss him. I would protect him, but I had to be smart. So I cleared my throat, and before I could get caught up in my thoughts again, I finished Finn's sentence. 'And then, you'll be executed.' ---- While Finn waits in prison, Tannix works to prove he's innocent. Unexpected challenges get in his way, including missing documents, the royal spymaster, and politics. With Tandrin's help, Tannix tries to navigate these obstacles as well as figure out his new place as a favourite Champion. In the lower city, Baisan also struggles to come to terms with what has happened, and how his world is continuing to change. *Takes place between Without a King and An Aimless War

Growing up on the streets of Zianna made Finn very good at a lot of things - pick pocketing, gambling, and generally sneaking around. He didn't mean to befriend Tannix, one of the richest young lords in the Kingdom. He certainly didn't mean to discover a plot to kill the King. Luckily his unique skill set, if not very law-abiding, might be exactly what is needed. Unfortunately, Tannix isn't entirely thrilled with his methods, and for some reason Finn actually cares about his opinion. Is there more to their friendship than he realizes?
