Imagine waking up in the middle of a forest, badly injured with no memory, not even your name. The forest is a dangerous place, where trolls and goblins hunt, and rarely does a person venture into the forest. What if you were lucky enough to be rescued, and put into a hospital. Next thing you know, you're slowly regaining memories in your dreams, and you're about to meet with a Queen. You end up meeting an elf, Ariella, who shows you around town and allows you to work at her bakery shop and live with you in the main city, the busiest of all. One adventure after another occurs, before shocking news hits you, making you doubt everything you have learned ever since you woke up in the forest. All that, happens to Clara.

Stealing? Plotting? Fighting? Fairly normal for Key. Questing with princes, fighting eternal evil, and stirring an ancient magic that could destroy the world? Not so much... While the rich men rest on piles of gold and their well-to-do wives dance around into pretty lace dresses, those who aren't nearly as fortunate are left to the streets. Key, always fascinated with stories of honorable heroes she lived for as a child, tries to help out as many as these people as she can. Nonetheless, she is a thief, an a notorious one at that. No one knows her real name, as she goes by many, but there's one unanimous nickname that has stuck with her. Lady Thief. She's not your typical lady. She's not elegant, charming, endearing, patient, or even extremely friendly. One day our Lady Thief has an unfortunate run in with some royalty, and, somehow, tangled in a web of lies, she's managed to get herself sucked into following King Cavalierre's two sons in a political campaign, so they can win the trust of their people. Somewhere along the way, she ends up on a quest that could stir up an ancient magic, which threatens to rip the new world- and her heart- apart at the seams. Things have just gotten complicated for our Lady Thief.

The curse, in the form of warped demons, took its first victims in the name of the elf kingdom of Felistras, its Queen left crownless and homeless.
