Mae is not a typical "fairy princess." She grew up in an orphanage in the middle of a war between the Four Kingdoms and then found herself thrust into the protection of the underground the minute she turned eighteen. Along the journey to discovering who she is and why the queen wants her captured, Mae meets ancient monsters, flirtatious kings, blind warriors, talking birds, and two young men who would gladly die for her affections. As Mae uncovers the secrets of her family, she must also face the knowledge that she may be the key to ending the war, even though she has no idea how to properly use her strange powers, or even what her real name is.
