If prophecies are destined to come to pass, how is it that even a queen can interfere with one? And what does it mean for the future of the kingdom?
      The silent battle between land and sea intensifies when Nadia is sent to reside with the Royal Family of Noelle, and Queen Ariana decides she has a much better idea. With the help of her retired White Knight, Sir Rallian, Nadia is enslaved and Ariana initiates her plan to make Noelle an empire again. However, the mutually beneficial relationship between the queen and former knight is under pressure when Sir Rallian discovers Nadia's value and Queen Ariana begins to question if the she made the right decision letting Nadia live. Will this powerful friendship withstand the test of greed?
      Meanwhile, the Royal Advisor, Polaris, looks a fool as what he announced to be a prophecy no longer appears as such. Furthermore, correcting the intended course of events is more complicated with the queen involved, not to mention Nadia is seafolk AND cursed. Poor Rein Bow also finds herself overwhelmed and powerless in helping Nadia, and she hopes that joining forces with Polaris and his resources against this cruel villain will be enough to deliver the princess-turned-slave. Will Polaris manage to save his reputation without committing treason? Will Nadia have the better life she was promised outside the ocean?

"Parliament doesn't want Ramses to be a member, Dear," Ariana said. "It would require voting someone out. There is already so much happening now with the merging of three nations, they don't have time to deal with exchanging members." 


"Very well," said Darren. "We'll put the matter on hold, but only on hold. Ramses could be an asset to Parliament." 


"He's biased against Noelle," Ariana argued. 


"How so?" Darren asked. "He's a part of Noelle now."
