He is universally renowned as a useless burden in the midst of a continent-wide war. Does he have what it takes to be the agent of victory?
      Gerardo of Liko is the lone survivor of a battle to the death, though he'd argue he'd be better off if he wasn't. Especially when he's tasked to rescue a prisoner of war, Jorge of En Why, who happens to be his greatest enemy on a personal level. Evidently, Jorge is destined to bring an end to the Stone War, so Gerardo agrees to take on the mission. Upon being captured in the process of releasing Jorge from the clutches of the enemy, Gerardo accepts his impending demise, and even welcomes it.
      But not all hope is lost. Rein Bow, a pixie with prophetic dreams, understands the importance of rescuing Gerardo. She recruits the help of a forest sprite and a colony of rodents living within the walls of the enemy's palace to devise an elaborate prison break. Meanwhile, Jorge's conscience, along with his fellow warriors who had escaped with him, urge him to use his shape-shifting abilities to repay Gerardo's efforts. Will Jorge be able to set aside his personal disgust and become the competent warrior required to rescue Gerardo? Will Jorge's and Rein's combined efforts be enough? And will Jorge's experiences mold him into the proficient warrior capable of bringing peace back to the United Empires?

It was difficult to know what to do without knowing what her opponent wanted. Nevertheless, she had to act before it finally decided to attack her and Pryce. 


The rat didn't relax its position but answered her in a low, intimidating voice. "I can." 


"I don't wish to fight," Rein said. "I am not a threat; you have my word." 


The rat was unmoved. "If you speak honestly, you may lower your weapon." 


Rein hesitated, but obeyed and held her hands up in surrender. The rat dropped down to all fours.
