With her return the quest has ended, but not all is grand in Everhope. After risking her life in search of a fairy tale, guided by nothing but rumors and unwritten histories, someone is still hunting Lexicon Chase, Princess and Holiday Royal.

Having survived an assassination attempt even the Shadow Dorm would disavow, Lexicon is forced to flee her castle, her city, and her people to save herself, even as the city of Everhope falls under siege by a troll hoard no one could imagine, more or less believe was real.

Lexi now must find a lost tribe of people hidden beyond the Great Blight, the last keepers of the Riddle Song, and learn its forgotten secrets.
