They took her kingdom. She told them to keep it.
Eldaya was a child queen until an absurd revolution overthrew her dynasty. Now Elida is a smuggler, evading the farcical republic that wants her dead. When a frenemy claims to know where to find her long lost mother, Elida stages a rescue.
Former child queen Elida was driven from her throne at age ten and forced to wander the galaxy, evading the revolutionary forces that wanted her dead. When an old frenemy claims to know the whereabouts of Elida’s long-lost mother, she is forced to return to her former kingdom and stage a rescue.
Lazaro has his hands on the Bezoar (it’s a little like a kidney stone—ew) of Kings, and with it he’ll take control of the entire Republic! Meanwhile, Elida and Stelling are imprisoned, together, which is the worst possible fate. Sometimes, you just have to roll up your sleeves, stomp through a sewer, and save the regime that threw you off the throne. Cause, ya know, greater good.
