Long ago there was a princess who loved with ease and sincerity.

Then her world burned.

Crown Princess Deming Reynes-Elyachar wants nothing to do with her title.

The continent is at peace and her small, human portion of it, the Queendom of Laey, is prospering under the stewardship of her uncle. All she wants is a quiet life to call her own, for the ache in her heart to lessen. Then, an ominous fog rolls in, caging the capital city in a dense dome of magic and mist. With the city blanketed in fear and chaos, a series of increasingly unsettling events are set in motion.

Who can Deming trust when the lies begin piling up?

Will she weild the power of her birthright, or wilt beneath it?
