Overview

Rhenium of Tin is a runt, seen as nothing more than a waste of resources by most of her tribe. But Rhen has secrets. Secrets that would mean banishment and death if anyone ever found them out. All Amira Dess wanted was her father's approval. But being the only child of the kunstian empire's ruler, she finds herself trapped in a gilded cage of lies and expectations. Because of those expectations, she winds up inspecting the mines in the slave settlement of Snium. When these two headstrong women meet, an unexpected bond forms between them. A bond that is stretched to its limit when secrets are revealed and trusts are tested. Will the suzerain's daughter and the brilliant slave buckle under the mounting pressures pressing down on them, or will they be able to overcome every obstacle and come out stronger once they reach the other side?
