"We were both steel butterflies, emerging from our cocoons in spiked armour, ready to tackle the skies." Beatrice Harrow grew up in a world where there wasn't a single place that she belonged, but the world is changing. Now, there is an entire kingdom and an actual ghost-with possible bad intentions-under her care, and she doesn't know what to do with either of them. Exiled and separated from her friends, she finds herself swept up in the politics of her unwanted kingdom, with mysterious forces working against her at every turn. It will not be long until the whisperings of war on the horizon become a reality, but the question remains ... Where will she stand? And who will stand with her?
