Princess Aster prepares herself to ascend the thrown her late mother once sat. She learns commerce and diplomacy from the best the court has to offer, and paints the world to ease the responsibility of the crown. Everything is going according to plan, until the dreams begin.  Nightmares of an army rising from the sea, a strange boy in the middle of a storm, and a staff filled with divine power, drive Aster to the edge of insanity until her brother returns from a voyage and confirms what she feared most. The visions of prophecy she thought were dreams are coming to be, and she's not the only one receiving them.  Together, Aster, her brother Callum, and a small band of sell swords led by the handsome Anson Thrace scoure the continent for clues to stop an ancient war from rising again by welding a power not meant for mortals.  -Weekly updates Saturdays at noon Central
