Princess Aleria is the heir to the throne, born into luxury, yet suffocated by royal expectations. Despite her beauty, grace, and natural intelligence, she loathes the life laid out for her. She dreams of escaping the confines of the palace, where she is expected to marry, bear heirs, and one day rule the kingdom. However, when Aleria decides to run away, she finds herself hunted by mercenaries, bounty hunters, and spies who are determined to find her for the sake of the kingdom's stability-and to use her as leverage against her parents, the King and Queen.
