Princess Serai was crippled literally and politically by a childhood accident that severed her right leg, which she isn't convinced was an accident. For years, Serai has been forced to watch from the sidelines as her older brother drives the Shenaise Empire into ruin to feed an endless war against the technologically superior Woromir, and as her older sister turns a blind eye to the suffering of the lower class. Try as she might to soften the blow with charity, Serai doesn't have the power to truly help anyone. When the Empress tasks her children to retrieve the crown of the divine ruler, an artifact of war-ending power, in a contest to inherit her throne, no one expects Serai to have a chance against her siblings. Who would bet on a one-legged girl to win a race against an accomplished warlord and a globe-trotting diplomat? Yet, the chance to finally to save her subjects from destruction is too important for Serai to give up. Luckily, she has a best friend with an unusual set of skills and enough faith to follow her into impossible odds.
Ferda loves Serai to pieces, but they've been getting tired of her broken promises of defending their small community of Woromiran immigrants from escalating violence. Breadlines are great, but they aren't enough to stop the looting of shops, the beating of elders, or the rising of a group of insurgents more wrathful than even Ferda is comfortable with. So, they take Serai's desperate bid for the throne as their only chance to protect their people, and happily lend their less than legal skills to her quest. Yet, as they learn more about how the crown warps its wearers, and as they see the journey bring out the worst in Serai, Ferda begins to question their resolve. Should Serai be allowed to wield the power to remake a world? Should anyone?

And not every heir wants the throne... ...but some are born to burn-and some will burn the world to protect the people they love.Complete
