Odessa

Welcome to the land of Thestria, where sunny days and beaming faces are never lacking, where crops are abundant and water is plentiful, where the royal family is well-loved by the people, and where the world's only female knight dwells.

Knighthood is the path that the honorable Lady Odessa has chosen for herself. Bold and smart as her father, she prowls the streets at night, bringing to justice those thieves and scoundrels that dare to harm the fair, hard-working Thestrians.

Unfortunately, at the ripe age of nineteen, disasters begin to throw Odessa's life off-balance. Before she can decide what she wants for herself, she is practically thrown out of Thestria and into a perilous, dangerous world that even one as hardy as herself is barely able to handle. The fate of the royal family, her friends, and her beloved country are suddenly thrust into her quick hands, and the path to saving them is like a march to the gallows. Surrounding her on all sides are thieves, assassins, tyrants, traitors, pirates, demons, cruel deserts, crushing oceans, kingdoms with walls as high has the clouds, dark caves with unspoken horrors, and beautiful forests filled with treachery.

Luckily, there is help-but not the kind of help Odessa was hoping for. Now, the only way for her to save herself (and everything that she holds dear) is to fight alongside the very sort of people she's always fought against.
