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.

She cursed every wave and every breeze that pushed them closer to her farewell. To the end of her time with the crew. Back to her lonely, sad, bitter reality.
