A kingdom so old it's forgotten its own name. A kingdom surrounded by treacherous mountains to the east and tumultuous ocean to the west. A kingdom dead set in its feudal ways and deadly hostile to the outside world.

Into this kingdom walks a strange young woman, materialized from the ether. With eerie features and flashy attire, she proclaims herself the ghost of Lady Eirika, a character out of a children's tale, and sets herself to mending the lives of those around her. The common folk distrust her, yet she aims to parley with as high as the king for a chance at making his kingdom a happier place.

Beset by brigands and bullies, hauntingly familiar faces, and one equally odd rogue intensely opposed to her quest, she presses ever onward to the capital. But as her own secrets chase after her faster than she can run, they push her resolve to the breaking point. Soon she'll have no choice but to discover whether she can change the kingdom before it changes her.
