As a warrior stuck in a peaceful world of mock tournaments, preparing for a battle that will never come, Niawen feels like a pawn. Waiting. Overly still. Unrest pushes her toward the unknown, to the mortal world beyond the portal—a place she is told is full of corruption, full of humans who would defile her inner light. Despite the warnings, Niawen enters the mortal realms to escape a broken heart, with her fearless dragon. The mundane, and supposedly evil, humans hold a fascination she couldn’t have anticipated.
