After her father, the king, is murdered, Princess Aliana becomes the prime suspect. After all, she stood to inherit the throne once he was gone. There's only one problem: Aliana is innocent. She's certain someone is framing her, but she just doesn't know who. Things go from bad to worse when she is formally accused of the murdered and locked in the castle while awaiting trial.
Knowing she will be either executed or exiled, the princess quickly flees the castle, along with her trusted bodyguard, Iora. During her escape, she is attacked by the true assassin, and only narrowly escaped with her life. From the castle, she flees into the surrounding woods, hoping to find refuge somewhere in the vast kingdom. Aliana soon learns, though, that she is not made for a life on the run and struggles to survive. All the while, she is being trailed by an assassin that will stop at nothing to kill her.

--- Mothers tell their children about monsters hiding under beds. They tell them stories and magical tales of green creatures with scaly skin and sharp teeth. Munching on their tiny, brittle bones as screams echo through the town, under crooked doors and into houses. Until one day, a knight in shining armour appears and saves the village folk, bringing vindication to the town and protecting all the scared villagers. But monsters aren't always green, or blue, or have scales or slime or sharp teeth. Sometimes the monster is human. With long legs, a thin frame, brown hair and a scar beneath her eye. And sometimes, to someone, the knight is the same person. ---
