❝Weak.❞
❝Useless.❞
❝Pushover.❞

These are the words that are used to describe Princess Skylet le'a Xenlisa, third princess of the Queendom of Nyvalia. She is an abnormality in a family of women renown for being brave, headstrong, and reckless. Everyone expects her to become like her sisters or her mother, Queen Xenlisa, the brave warrior queen who managed to unite the countries and bring peace to the continent for the first time in a hundred years.

But Skylet finds that she'd much rather feed the geese, watch bread rising in the kitchen, or take care of her garden than rule a queendom or take up a position of leadership. After all, she doesn't expect to be chosen as Crown Heiress, being the youngest daughter.

But when misfortune strikes, everything that Skylet knew and hoped for shatters. The peace that her mother struggled so valiantly to achieve was tenuous and vague -- and it came with a price. Haunted by her own weakness, and surrounded on all sides by enemies and political machinations, Skylet is forced learn to navigate the treacherous Nyvalian court and unravel the conspiracy coalescing around her. 

If she fails, the only thing she'll be next in line for...is the morgue.
