In the fae country of Jesuvia, Reyna, the feisty daughter of a war general, has been charged with burning down a temple. Her punishment is to live with and serve the ancient, eccentric faeries in the ghostly Buried City. She slowly grows close to her surprisingly gentle master and her new life, but soon Reyna must use her battle skills again when an assassination occurs in her new home, destroying the peace she has grown accustomed to. Suspecting her father is behind the murder and is plotting a war, Reyna knows she is the only one who might be able to save the ones she has grown to love.
