Magnolia Isles is a kingdom focused almost entirely on the arts. The idea of families is a luxury, as most all children are sent to learn and grow up in professions. Some children are luckier than others in the professions they get shoved into. Norah receives the opportunity to learn multiple arts; the art and entertainment duties of a clown, the poise and flair of sorcery, and the gritty and skilled work of an assassin. After Norah is chosen to be the queen’s personal knight and champion, her loyalty to the kingdom will be tested. Will she fail her liege and pursue a life of freedom? Or will she defend her oath and commitment to the kingdom? Either option Norah chooses, her life will be forever changed and touched by the royal family.
