The man who set this political cataclysm off, an assassin named Lind, must right the wrong he did and turn on the one who hired him. He can’t do it alone, but he has help: the captain of the guard who was framed for the murder, and a healer witch charged with a task by the ghost of the murdered king himself.

Rue finds herself locked in a basement prison with no memory of how she got there. Worse, she has no magic and her allies are nowhere to be found.

There, she learns how to use her magic alongside the crown prince, whom she falls in love with, before embarking on a dangerous quest to save her mother that will end in challenging the Celestial Emperor himself.
