Prince Aron laments that he has broken the heart of his wife, Princess Sefina of Avinon. The strength of their love is tested in the most painful, and dangerous ways possible. Aron's family suspect's that Sefina's Audan family bloodline has expressed itself in aberrant behavior and that she has killed twenty-three little girls right before their eyes. Sefina pleads that she killed no girls but rather green bug monsters, brandishing swords. In to a terrible family meeting the family rejects her story. They saw beautiful little girls being slaughtered. It is exacerbated by the arrival of a detachment of guards bearing a warrant for Sefina's arrest for mass murder of children signed by the King, Mordas Mereda, himself. Sefina's reaction is to flee which she does in her small fast-flyer. She flies to Torbus knowing their friend, King Zoltan Gor, will grant her refuge. However, the effect of her leaving crushes Prince Aron. On their bed Sefina left a note, "Find me, fight for me. It is the only way to keep me." Thus begins an epic chase across the wide expanse of Aerides trackless deserts where Sefina learns of hitherto unknown species who may hold answers. But why would they be attacking Avinon and how did Sefina see them for what they were when others saw little girls? To clear her name Sefina must answer all of these questions. It is a test of her strength and the love she and Aron share. She must for she is, the Warrior Princess of Aerides.
