Family ties can be broken, but can they be rewritten? Ever since Shane’s memories of her former life as Princess Airel returned and she stabbed herself in order to stop Zaltak, Elias has been alone in the world. The company of his fellow prisoners can never compare to that of his partner, yet they’re the ones marching with him toward the uncertainty of their demise. But he knows something that, if told, could kill them all in an instant. Shane is alive. She’s alive, and she’s coming for him. But as days turn into weeks with no sign of her, his confidence begins to crumble. After all, he’s just an assassin, and she’s a princess. It’s a miracle that Shane’s alive. That’s what everyone around her says, but to Airel, living is nothing but a curse. She’s supposed to be dead, but instead she’s trapped in a world she used to call home, surrounded by family members she’s become a stranger to, and pleading with a goddess she’s not sure can hear her for a safe return to Lyconnexal. But when the goddess finally does answer and the truth behind Airel’s survival comes to light, she begins to question why she’s fighting a war she knows she’s going to lose.
