"If there was one thing I knew, it was monsters."
Nothing good comes from magic. It's dangerous, deceptive, and as unseemly as those who wield it. Althaia learned this as a child and simultaneously realized she needed to protect herself from it.
No year, day, or minute has she regretted her decision or the paranoid title it earned her. If Althaia had her way, she would stay at home where the mounted protections have left it the safest place she knows.
But wants can't always be had, neither can everything be planned.
Althaia did not plan on volunteering to stay in a place where magic not only fills the air and tickles the throat but where Venenifer, beings who can manifest magic as easily as breathing, run rampant in the easy acceptance of those around them. But how else could she find out who framed her family for treason while also trying to save them from destitution?
There was no time to draw straws. No time to think or plan anything out. Only act. And she does not plan on failing her house.
Having to work with unconventional allies and a tricky not so queen, Althaia also finds her life entwined with mysterious and dangerous mages called 'Puppeteers' who seem to have it out for her.
As time runs out, she must work to survive both the Puppeteers and the very people she's working with, as she seems to be the only one who cares for her safety.
