Description
Noxi, the first-ever female firstborn in the ancient and male-dominated line of Plutonian royalty, was destined to challenge the very fabric of her world. While she is being told her existence is both a blessing and a curse, she has trouble seeing beyond the curse. For centuries, Plutonian tradition has dictated that only male heirs may ascend to the throne, but Noxi's birth defies this longstanding law, igniting controversy, unknowing, and vulnerability among the royal court. From a young age, Noxi is trained in the art of telekinesis, a power that only those of the royal bloodline keep, but the weight of her birthright hangs heavy on her. Her parents, the King and Queen of Pluto, see the only solution as Noxi getting married and giving birth to a boy to secure the throne. While her father somewhat empathizes with his daughter and her major sacrifice, her mother instead harbours a life-changing secret. As the political climate in the Plutonian court grows increasingly unstable, Noxi must navigate treacherous waters of betrayal, power struggles, and the unspoken laws of succession. Her father's iron-fisted rule faces opposition from factions who believe a woman's rule would bring disgrace upon Pluto's royal legacy, and concoct a plan to take the throne for themselves. But Noxi's journey reveals the unexpected-a partnership that no one was expecting, and a universal prophecy that names her responsible for more than she's ever prepared for. In a world where tradition holds tight to its power, Noxi's struggle is not just for her throne, but for the future of the entire Solar System itself. She will face the wrath of her enemies, the loyalty of her allies, and the consequences of her own decisions as she determines whether or not to embrace her destiny and everything she will lose to get it. "Do not underestimate me. For you follow what you see, but I follow what is within me."
