And so went my first lesson in the Kingdom of Man: I learned to swallow my heart. The Kingdom of Men and Women have always stood apart, but Kanan, a child from the Kingdom of Between, is not strictly a man or a woman. Following the capture of their small country, Kanan is presented to the Kingdom of Men's crown prince as a war prize and political hostage. Alone in a strange land they do not belong, Kanan must navigate complicated court politics, strict gender roles, and a brutal civil war to find their freedom. Their only ally? That very same arrogant, insecure young prince whom they were given to as a gift.
