One mistake. One journey. One life that will never be the same.

Amaris Medeis lived her whole life as an outcast. An orphan with parents the world 
 looked down on. A non-power weaver in a world that valued weaving above all else. She was hidden away from the world, threatened not to speak her last name and sully it with hers. Her only friends were the servants that raised her and the machines she taught herself to build.

 When her aunt pushed her a little too far, she fled and boarded a ship that got her into more trouble than she could ever have imagined.

 With monsters, thieves and a dark emperor with huge armies on her path, Amaris found herself wondering if the life she dreamed of was the one she was meant to lead.

 “Ash got arrested." She panted. "Where's Hawk?" 


 "Captain's cabin." He said as he strode in its direction. 


 She followed after him and entered the familiar room. The captain and Hawk were sitting at the table with a stack of papers between them, a mug of steaming tea beside each man. 


 Mecheye turned to Amaris and she stood up straighter, straining to regulate her breathing. "Just now. at the market. Two order keepers. They had the Manticali insignia on their coats." 


 A short silence followed as everyone looked around, well aware of what that meant. 


 "I'll call the crew." Hawk sprung into motion, fumbling towards the door. 


 "I'll see if I can spot any of the rest in the docks." Mecheye followed after him.
