(or, the queer barbie retelling we've all been waiting for.) Nerymatha was once promised the world, and is realizing there's nothing but dirt and smoke under the stones of her Palace - and in order to save her Empire, she must marry the next kingdom's heir. Samènar is living a lie. Once promised the chance of repaying her parents' debt, she now must face the truth and tell the world she's the greatest Sorcerer of the Empire. When the world calls for help, Nerymatha and Samènar must join in an improbable alliance by the most improbable means, and reunite to prevent the end of everything they've ever known.
