Cynewyn is the only daughter of the Emperor of Tyne; the youngest of four siblings, her three older brothers are the focus of her father's prophetic quest for an heir. Foretold a generation ago, a Chosen One is set to lead the empire into the future and would be born to the Imperial family. Cyne knows that this prophecy refers to her and so she defied her father, stealing Imperial Priesthood documents, and slipped from the capital with a wily group of mercenaries and her loyal and noble best friend Haeth. It is a dark, dangerous, and erotic quest to find purpose and avoid her proposed marriage to Tyne's rival, Mirat, as long as possible. Being Unchosen has also set her on a path toward a destiny that she hadn't planned, a distraction that could raise her to the heavens or send her crashing to the earth.
