Bringing peace to the colony in her mind will prove that she is ready to take the throne. Luca wants the fighting to stop and to better the lives of the Qazali, but above all she wants to establish herself as worthy of ending her uncle’s regency and putting herself on the throne of the empire.
But a chance encounter with rebels leaves Touraine facing execution, and she desperately takes the only way out offered to her: to work with the newly arrived Princess Luca to both negotiate with and spy on the rebels in the hopes of bringing peace to the colony. One day she’ll be able to make life better for her people. Touraine knows the Balladairans are stronger than her people, that the best way to get through life is to be the best soldier she can, and one day she’ll be recognized for her achievements. For over 20 years, she’s been raised with her fellow conscripts by the Balladairans, trained to forget her “uncivilized” behavior. Touraine is a conscript soldier, snatched from her homeland at the age of five.
