One lady-in-waiting. One dictator. A fierce desire for revenge. It's well known throughout Thedessa that Dictator Odin Ishard killed the heirs to the kingdom and the elite team of knights accompanying them- including Alyth Renley's father. Now a lady-in-waiting to the queen, Alyth plots the demise of the man who killed her family. The only problem? While a skilled archer, she needs more skill to defeat the cunning dictator. She has to join the King's Guard- the elite team of knights her dad was in- to gain the skills needed...or risk losing her societal status trying. Through incredible circumstances, Alyth manages to be accepted into the Guard. Just days later, Thedessa is invaded by Ishard, and when the kingdom falls, Alyth is forced to flee into the deadly Seocca Woods with a group of knights to raise aid before their kingdom is lost completely. When Alyth has the opportunity to kill the man who destroyed her life, will she choose to satisfy her craving for revenge, or save the lives of those around her?
