Jaelle Rhovaryn thought she and her bonded pegasus were just doing their compulsory tour of duty in the aerial corps before settling into a normal life as the unimportant royal, not that they would find themselves on the front line of an unexpected rent in their country's defenses. The cost piles up as monsters from the outside breach Denarbe’s southern border first in a trickle and then a veritable tide, decimating island after island of small communities.

How did the twisted creatures find their way through the barrier, and what will it take to seal it again? What prompted their ancient king to erect the wards, and what did he sacrifice to do it?

Jaelle has to decide what sacrifices of her own she’s willing to make - but the choice may not be hers for long. The monsters keep coming, and they’ll slaughter anyone in their way.
