Her Holy Highness Astirra, the high priestess of Mithra, has invited Lynne to her son's coming-of-age ball. The troublesome news doesn't end there, however; the (soon-to-be) man of the hour, Holy Prince Tirrence, claims to be betrothed to the adolescent princess! King Clays suspects a plot, but his hands are tied. Lynne and Rolo must travel to the Holy Theocracy to confront the ghosts of their pasts, with Noor and Ines in tow.

Will our four heroes survive their journey in the face of so much mistrust and conspiracy? How good will the catering really be? And those "ghosts" are only figurative...right? How is Noor supposed to fight one without any magic?!
