  As the first Melder in two hundred years, Lecia is destined to help a descendent of Avrid unify the land.

            Now, His Majesty Conway has ascended the throne, and the day for her return has arrived.

            But nothing is as Lecia expected.

            A tyrant has assumed control of The Territories, and only Zekehl-Ma remains untouched. Lecia and the Majesty march for El-Vindosia in hopes of freeing the territory. But distrust runs deep, and they’ll soon discover Kelmek-Na’s army isn’t the only threat to a unified kingdom. With multiple hands vying for power and decades of territorial prejudice, will Conway and Lecia be able to convince the El-Vindosians unity is in their best interest? And if they can’t, will there be any hope of bringing the kingdom back together?

Kwyn is an ex-slave who has spent the last three years trying to forget her past. When a hefty reward is offered for the capture of the infamous "Melder", Kwyn is hopeful it will be what she needs to disappear forever. 

But when matters go wrong, she finds herself forced to team up with a rival Finder: a boastful man from the neighboring territory of Zekehl-Ma. More upsetting than the unexpected partnership, however, is the discovery that the Melder is a six-year-old girl.

With dangers on all sides, a shaky truce with her unwanted companion, and all five Majesties trying to get their hands on the Melder, Kwyn is faced with an impossible decision. Should she deliver the child and collect the reward? Or would doing so make her complicit in a crime she's spent her life trying to forget?
