The Dawning is upon us. The True Queens must rise or the magic of Astari will fail. Jaelyn has always been a Hunter in the Court of Stone, though she longs to travel and see more of Terebellum and the lands beyond. When the Herald comes to mark the chosen ones, she might just get her wish. Only, Jaelyn has never wanted to be a queen; she's more than happy to let Princess Anya have that title. But they have both been marked, and the only way to ensure Anya takes the throne (and not her life) is if Jaelyn recovers the holy objects - the quiver, the bow and the horse - and delivers them to the princess. With the help of her four men, Jaelyn will lie, cheat, or steal to get the job done. Because she sure as hell isn't going to die for a crown she doesn't want.
