Before the time of the Kings and Queens of Mastral, the land was barren of life, then the stars used their power to fill the world with magic. Centuries later, the stories of the stars were all but forgotten... until a girl was born from the star's magic, unbeknownst to her.

Nica is a simple girl who is full of life, seeking adventure and thrill in the wilderness. She wants to learn the way of the sword, using the skills taught to her in battle if war were ever to occur in her lifetime. Her curiosity gets her in trouble, on more than one occasion.
Zeth is the Crowned Prince of Arada, southern Mastral, and an arrogant one at that. He believes he knows best and tends to speak before thinking. He has a heavy burden to bear, ruling a changing land when an adventurous country girl throws him for a loop.
Zeth is mesmerized by Nica, but his stubbornness won't concede to his heart. When the unimaginable happens and war breaks out, Zeth finds he must learn to trust his heart or risk it forever and Nica soon learns she is more than what she seems.
An outside force plots against them. Mystery and tribulations surround them. Magic awakens. Will Zeth and Nica pull together, or will they fail?
