It was prophesied that a child was to be born to the Maidens - one who would one day sacrifice themselves for the soul of the exiled Lilith to inhabit their mortal body in order to reclaim her stolen life.

We meet an 18-year-old farmhand harboring a deadly secret. There has been a murder in her village and all things point to her.

Things get complicated when the Prince of Ead breaks his loyalty to the throne and rushes to her aid, risking everything to warn her of the danger that lies ahead.

Said danger is in the form of the Kingdom's most lethal duo, the Capitan and her Magpie, who have been sent to hunt her down. A simple capture and retreat.

It's all a little too good to be true until the heist does not go according to plan. New and unexpected alliances must be made, and the lines of what they thought to be true have now blurred. The four find their loyalty, faith and identity tested.
