A Syndicate of Nightmares and Liars

After a failed attempt to murder her High Majesty the Empress, Korte is exiled and forsaken across the ocean to enemy frontlines at the best spellcaster academy in the known world. Disguised as a student, her Majesty delivers Korte to spy on the High King of Gherion to learn under his wizardry teachings. Only if he ever found out about what and where she took his son in the hours of darkness, he'd kill her before the sun could rise.

But when Korte disobeys her mother once again, heads will roll and a war is but a mere ember in the wind, waiting to pick up and inferniate everything in its path.
Struggling to gain trust to the people that matter most and regain moral footing, the crown becoming an arms race turns the quick-wit and once easy-going Princess to sharpen her teeth and harden her skin for a battle she won't forget.

Everyone wants to rule the kingdom. But Korte wants to rule the world. And no one wants that.
