Being handed everything and being doted upon for her bloodline rather than whom she was were neither of her life aspirations. Instead of staying in Kortis and celebrating her arranged marriage to a man she despised she chose to flee to the human world to live a modest life off a modest wage and merely blend in with the human population. To her father she was insubordinate. To her brother she was a deserter. To her sister-in-law she was undeserving of her title. To her mother she was simply misunderstood. Quartessa never cared much about what other's thought about her, but at least she was being judged based on her actions rather than what was written in her blood. Blood was far more important to her kind than it ever was to her. Her father would never approve of her new mixed-blood boyfriend on that concept alone. But as the laws of life have taught most of us, running from your problems is only a temporary solution. In the end the past usually ends up biting you in the ass. After a few years of a peaceful human life, Quartessa finds herself the pawn in a revenge plot on her kind, endangering her life and forcing her to regretfully return to Kortis to seek the help of her father. While she finds little useful information she is accompanied back to the human world by her newfound mixed-blooded love, Clifton, her best friend and very talented which, Violet, a Zolera warrior, Quino, the man she would have been forced to marry had she not left, Kafkus, and a mortal expiration date of 10 days. Along her journey she allies two humans and the Yaro Loach. But when Violet disappears, Quartessa questions the loyalty of her new friends. To gain her life back and rescue her best friend, she must face and kill her attacker, a task far above her abilities. Will she be able to save her friends, family and newfound love? A choice must be made.
