As The Great Sickness threatens the country, Princess Daaé becomes Commander of the King's Army and her polished life comes to a halt. Pens are replaced with swords, embroidery needles with arrows, and poetry lessons with battle horses. Years later, she meets a man who tells her that she contains an ancient secret that will forever change the way she thinks, loves and fights.
"Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle. Every Warrior of the Light has, at some point, lied or betrayed someone. Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not hers. Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial reasons. Every Warrior of the Light has, at least one, believed she was not a Warrior of the Light. Every Warrior of the Light has failed in her duties. Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when she wanted to say 'no'. Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone she loved. This is why she is a Warrior of the Light - because she has been through all this and yes has never lost hope of being better than she is."
