Games happening, a festival to finalize, and with enough magic coursing through her to settle into everything, Riddle Echo is becoming the princess she always wanted to be.

Hope springs eternal with the emergence of both ideas and realities that cement the woman she wants to be and the kind of court she wants to run. Because her guards are showing in unlikely places, and they're ever ready to join her, and make everything make sense.

But as with all courts, there are those at work against her, and they have their own powers, their own tricks and their own deadly intensions.

And with the festival on the horizon, everything has to work out just so...or it could end in disaster.
