Eighteen year old Princess Kyra is everything she believes a princess should not be. She has a short temper and hates dresses. When Kyra's life is directly at risk in her kingdom, she has to escape quickly. Ayran, a remarkable and talented fighter, takes her to the Outer World', the land where he is from, where there are cars and electricity, and everything Kyra has only read about in books. Despite the many times Ayran saves Kyra's life, she is repeatedly reminded of the fact that he doesn’t want to be around her. He is only protecting her to repay his debt to her father. Despite Ayran's anger and attitude, Kyra may be falling for him. She can't control her thoughts and feelings when she is around him, so she gets angry instead. And for the first time she discovers there is someone who can match her anger. But there are other people out to catch Kyra besides a prince bent on revenge. Kyra has learnt a very dangerous kind of magic from a very dangerous kind of book. Such magic will bring her more trouble than she could possibly imagine, despite how little she actually knows of how to use it. In fact, it seems everything brings her trouble. Between running from kingdom men, men bent on revenge, and sorcerers, there is never a single day that comes without an attack of some sort.
