Meira is the daughter of a nobleman, expected to take her father's place at court. Bound by family duty, she returns to the capital city for the first time in years, feeling out of place as she enters the intricacies of court life and all that it entails.

In order to rescue him, Meira must travel through both the Fae realm and Shadowlands, facing mysterious mazes, mud monsters and more that will test the limits of her resolve and forces that threaten everything she cares about.
