Nineteen-year-old Rhinna possesses a deadly power: a single touch from her can end a life. Bound by duty to the king she serves, Rhinna is sent on a mission to a foreign kingdom with a singular goal: to trade their only foreign prisoner for the life-saving provisions her kingdom desperately needs.

As she embarks on her journey aboard a foreign cargo ship, Rhinna’s plans are thrown into disarray when several unexpected stowaways join her quest. Among them are a rogue thief with a hidden agenda, a young girl with a deadly vendetta, and a young boy who may just turn out to be her saving grace.

As alliances are forged and secrets uncovered, Rhinna quickly learns that nothing is as it seems. Together, they must confront the hidden truths of their kingdoms. Will they be able to accept the secrets of their pasts and overcome the trials that lie ahead?
