For satyr Thepa Warbol, the world of Sainta has been at war for as long as she can remember. Savage beasts ravage the land, and the once-strong alliance of the five nations is crumbling under the growing horde's onslaught. As resources dwindle and conscription claims every able body, Thepa-daughter of the Matriarch-is no exception. But Thepa refuses to fade into the ranks. Defying her mother's expectations, she shatters the chains of the Matriarchy and becomes the first-ever female Captain of the Goldale Guard. Battling self-doubt and a mysterious, untapped power, she's forced to confront the path laid out before her. As a new threat emerges and a forgotten past comes to light, Thepa faces an impossible choice: embrace her newfound freedom, or surrender to a fateful birthright.
