Girls don''t need heroes. They need adventures.

Prince Thomas of Reinsaffira has been in love with Princess Catiya since the first moment he saw her. So, when her father, the King of Volentia, offers him her hand in marriage as part of the alliance between their two countries, Thomas immediately agrees. But Cat has no interest in being married to a prince she does not know and will never love.

The night the engagement is announced, Cat receives a strange gift; a compass that points toward the thing she needs most. And a chance at having an adventure of her own.

Cat is faced with a choice. Do what is best for Volentia and marry the prince or follow the compass into the wilderness.

What choice will she make?

And what will the consequences be?

What if this is not who you were meant to be?

As the princess of Volentia, Cat always knew certain things about who she was and what was expected of her, but when shadow assassins start infiltrating the palace, targeting her, everything about Cat''s carefully constructed world comes crumbling down around her. The people she loves most are keeping secretes from her. The biggest of them all is who she really is.

Magic has been extinct for hundreds of years. Thomas knows this to be true. Or, he thought it was true until he starts having visions of a girl and a danger lurking in the shadows. He knows she needs his help, but first he needs help finding her. Help that comes from an unlikely source. Perhaps the world is more magical than he ever believed was possible.
