Since the night of her birth, Princess Andria of Aramore has been fated to marry the pompous Prince Edmund of Aldhaven. Trained to remain obedient and to speak only when spoken to, Andria yearns for freedom of choice – a privilege belonging only to men in her realm. By mere coincidence, Andria finds another world that lies beyond the edge of her kingdom in the sky, in which women are more than property and are free to make decisions of their own. So on the eve of her thirteenth birthday, she takes matters into her own hands: she runs away, leaving behind her family, her kingdom, and her best friend, Guardian Xavier.

It takes five years for Guardian Xavier to find her. He had been banished for failing to keep Andria safe. Now she is his only hope for redemption.

All this time, Andria has led a quiet life in the small town of Sublimity, Oregon, and she is by no means willing to return to her life in the sky. Surely, her proud and bitter father intends to punish her for running away, and her engagement to Prince Edmund will be reinstated. Yet what she does not realize is that there are men in these kingdoms who still plot her demise – even from within her own castle.
