In a world seperated by majesty and inelegance, there's an assassin who doesn't understand her unwilling thoughts and a son who's lost his beloved family to a rumor turned disaster. As their worlds collide, only sinister thoughts and dangerous emotions swirl around them. However, their interests are the same: find the Great Oracle, he who may save them of this peril. But to find him, they must set foot on the desert of Saa, and royalty doesn't allow criminals and indigents on such prophetic lands, no matter what their interests may be. Not even when the world is on the precipice of disaster.
