This is not the usual story of a dethroned monarch.
Unlike all of her fabled counterparts, Hazel of Cordesia was not usurped without good cause. After being made Queen at age fourteen, it quickly became obvious that she lacked both the maturity and the grace to rule. After a terrible mistake in foreign policy, her supporting nobles come together to subsequently overthrow her. At first, Hazel is desperate to make her way back to her kingdom and reclaim it- until she falls in love with a little blooming city nearby, ruled by democracy.
Meanwhile, her own homeland slowly falls into the clutches of a brutal oligarchy, and her happiness is interrupted when a mysterious rider comes and offers to help reinstate her as Queen. Hazel quickly finds herself torn between the person she wants to be and the person her people need her to be.
