A warrior girl. A dying prince. A secret plot to steal the crown.

Nearly dead of a relentless illness, Prince Tel is thrown overboard when he uncovers a plot to kill his father. He washes up on the shores of the Horsemen, the fierce people who just ended a war with his own kingdom. Peace between them is fragile, yet they offer him their help and healing. When a mysterious band of soldiers attacks, bent on enslaving them, Tel must find the strength to fight for his new friends.

Atta is a proud warrior, determined to protect her family. At first, she sees Tel as little more than a burden. Yet, as the enemy's ruthless forces pursue them, he saves her life, and she witnesses a courage and determination that challenges everything she once believed about him.

Together, they uncover a sinister conspiracy. A mysterious enemy has allied himself with a power-hungry queen who plans to plunge both nations back into war. With enemies closing in from every side, Tel and Atta must survive the perilous journey to reach his father and warn him.

If they fail, both nations will fall.
