In the kingdom of Corsindor, the prince is lost, the king is dead, and the queen is holding the reins of government against disloyal nobles. They want a puppet to consolidate their power over the land. The queen has only one ally, who is not human. His goals are opaque. If she listened to her disquiet, then she would break this alliance. The ally's goals were probably worse than giving resigning. At least the nobles were human and only had human vices.
On the border, there are rumors of a group of magical dissidents. Plus the long-lost prince, who knows nothing of ruling, is returning. Corsindor is being attacked from within and without by demons.
Shira, a foundling, trained by the dissidents with her own magic, is sent to Corsindor. Warrior, magician, and leader - Her job is to confront the demons and reduce the chaos in the world. Will she survive? Will she be tempted to take it all?
