In the shadow of war,

trust is as fragile as glass.


The Pinnacle Star, home of the royals and nobles, is a kingdom with technology Midlanders can only dream about.


Technology that could give Daelia hope.


A strange illness left her uncle alive, but unconscious. Accepting an opportunity to help him could send her to prison. Desperate for a cure, she attends the Prince's Ball disguised as a noble, but after one dance with Prince Marcel, he discovers her true identity. Curiosity for each other's worlds leads to interwoven dreams and forbidden secrets until a rebel attack forces them on separate paths, putting their lives in danger.


As their lands are torn apart, Daelia finds herself on both sides of the war. She must choose to either hide from her fears, or rise against them to protect those she loves.
