Little did he know that I would find my wings and voice - which sings now. Until I realized it was about keeping me in. I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out. But as I get to know him, I realise that the tales of his brutality aren't true.

Leading the army is Commander Rip, a notorious warrior whose name is whispered in taverns and street corners all over the six kingdoms. I have fought the terrifying Red Raid Pirates, endured the murder of those I care about, and survived the frozen planes of Orea, only to find myself a prisoner of the army of Fourth Kingdom. Īfter ten years, I have left the grips of one king only to fall into the hands of another. But when political upheaval sees me sent across kingdoms to a future I no longer understand, everything I thought I knew about King Midas is shattered. Who gave me food, shelter, and his heart. King Midas, who rescued me from the streets.
