Swindlers and Angels

The world of Iafecyl has always been at peace, but with the assassination of the princess of Orela, the world has fallen into disarray. Orela believes their sister country, Euromari, is responsible for the death of the princess, and the two continents are now on the brink of war. However, a girl named Assana Chaevyre, living in one of the small towns in Euromari, has no idea of any of this and decides to travel to the capital city of Orela in hopes of becoming an herbalist's apprentice. However, with her accent, looks, and clothing, someone recognizes her as Euromarian immediately and decides to hide her temporarily, lest she be attacked by the angry Orelai.

But the stranger who takes her in isn't just a normal citizen, but the crown prince himself, August Orela. He plans to smuggle Assana onto a boat headed back to Euromari, but until then, she'll have to stay with the kind owners of an inn called The Spotted Tiger. The prince assures her she'll be safe, but things in Orela are getting tenser every day. Talk of a war is spreading through the streets, and the Orelai are growing more and more hostile towards Assana's people.

As she spends more time in Orela and more time with August, Assana slowly begins to uncover a mysterious plot that may just be the end of the Orelai royal family and the peaceful world as they know it. As tensions rise and new twists are revealed at every turn, Assana struggles to clear the name of her people and save the boy she cares about more than she'd like to admit.

"There are two choices: Either fight to save myself and the people I love, or give up and let the world fall into chaos. I choose to fight."
