She longs for the simple life, the anonymity of being common born, like her parents used to be.
But simplicity is not in her name.
When the fragile peace between Aererion and neighbouring Ioferynn begins to fray, Rilla finds herself stuck right in the middle of it, desperately trying to hold her family together.
The nobility is built on secrets.
Secrets never stay buried for long.
