After her father’s untimely death, Klymene discovers a document signed by her father in his final hours, containing one instruction- t0 find the fortune. A set of vague clues is all she is given, and the fortune will be the nation of Koswe’s key to winning the great war and conquering the enemy. If Klymene fails, she won’t be the only one in danger.
Across the world, in the East, Serena Alston sails the high seas of Etrijan as an apprentice to the infamous pirate lord, Riddley Ludlow. She’s sent on a mission by the lord, only to be captured by a clan of creatures who call themselves the Dream Stealers, and is granted freedom only if she is to kill Queen Elthe of the fae forest. Upon her arrival to the dark queen’s castle where the Dream Stealers reside, she discovers a resistance group. She must join the resistance, as she is essential to defeating the Dream Stealers.
Klymene is determined to find the fortune before the turning point of the war in Koswe, but in doing so, she heads for more dangerous territory. The new allies she meets along the way may be just what she needs to find the fortune and change the future of her nation.
