Princess Lily of Eden has always done whatever her twin brother, crown prince Jeremiah, did, whether it be sword fighting or learn politics, but as she grew older her behavior is viewed as less and less acceptable. When war strikes her kingdom, she does all she can from the confines of the capital, but it is not enough. 

Her men are dying. 

Her towns are burned to the ground. 

Her people are hungry. 

The death of the general and her father's reluctance to replace him pushes Lily over the edge and she takes matters into her own hands. She was determined to save her kingdom even if it meant leaving the safety of the castle, perhaps never to be allowed back in.
