Ash—or Princess Adelisa—is the youngest child of the queen, recently returned to the city of Kestrel’s Haven after spending six years on the other side of the country. Ash was hoping for a joyous reunion, but the reality is far from it. Feeling lonely and out of place, mocked by nobles who openly dismiss her need for a cane and braces to strengthen her joints, she is surprised by a chance encounter with Spinter, the youngest child of one of Haven's most prominent families. Fierce and determined, she has set her sights on becoming a Knight, like her brother, even though everyone says she can't because she's a girl. But, she's not - and she's not a boy either.
