Guinevere Flynn has lived most of her life in lonely obscurity in a country that is all too happy to grind folks like her into a fine paste. She's carefully stayed to herself and out of the way, trying to enjoy the small life she's scraped out for herself with her steadfast companion, Bumble. Then the charming, larger than life princess of Vulcaria, Veda Aalish, bursts into her life and convinces her to embark on a quest for revenge against the men that brutally murdered her parents when Gwen was an infant.

Gwen soon finds herself swept up in a series of events with consequences she never could have imagined as she's placed in opposition to the powerful religious organization that shadow-rules Peonia. The country is at a breaking point and all it will take is a single spark. Now Gwen will be forced to make a choice: does she protect those she loves and the things she believes in, or does she go back to hiding who she really is?
