"You can't keep running from everything."
"You wanna bet on that?"
Seventeen year old Alicia ("Alicia Jackson, clever as a devil but twice as pretty, nice to meet you.") was a runner - literally and figuratively. Not only was she part of her school's cross-country team but she had a certain ...um... affinity for running from her ...um... problems. Also, she kinda had a job in a secret *cough*kingdom*cough*. But that's another story.
Eventually, the girl learns that there are certain things she can't run away from, certain things she finds, she doesn't ever want to run away from and it all makes the world a better place, not just for herself.
What exactly? Stick around and find out for yourself.

The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it.
