Gaining freedom from her old master, Whyzer Patro, doesn't mean that Cottia can now be a princess.

Everyone understands that ... except Prince Ezer.

When an old assassin friend comes into town, he brings her information about Whyzer Patro's next move and offers her an opportunity to make Prince Ezer understand that princes and ex-assassins don't mix.

The plan should work, but Prince Ezer is stubborn.

And to make matters worse, Whyzer Patro and his associates have a vendetta that can usurp Prince Ezer's power.
