Despite the trouble brewing across the continent, orphan Kade has spent the past few weeks stealing, complaining and getting into fights to distract herself from the issue of her kidnapped brother and the ensuing blackmail. When she accidentally comes face to face with the king and queen of Arovia holding daggers in both hands, Kade finds herself in even more trouble than before. Kade's first priority is to get her brother back. She'll do whatever she has to, no matter how impossible the situation gets.
