Prologue

"Before the time of kings and queens,
Before ordinance came to dwell,
The gods built a kingdom by the river:
Great Enid, standing strong and well."

Mina Blackwell is alone, etching out a half-life by performing in the streets and paying dues. Life has spared little kindness, and in the face of greedy collectors and fearsome knights, she wonders if she'll ever manage to stand strong. But with whispers of hidden magic and an ever-searching king, trouble may come to find Mina in ways she never could've imagined.
