Lani’s lot was to watch over the kin and do what she could to scrape up any type of work. She’d since come to terms with it and accepted it for what it is. That is, up until the moment she found Ashantha dying in the wood storage cave for the town.

Taking his final breaths, he ends up pleading with her and wants her to protect a jewel– the very one that he has given his life over. In the course of those moments, her life ends up changing for good and forever as she somehow gets linked to his secret society of Jesters.

Lani ends up taking possession of an amulet and finds out that it is the key to an 800 year old secret that was hidden behind a magic barrier that was starting to crack before this. What starts as a journey for them to find answers in a quick manner starts to become the type of situation where things are a matter of life and death as she goes on the run from Derk assassins, who have been sent after her to try and get the jewel at any cost.

Not that far from home, Lani is going to have to find the only person that Ashantha confided in her could be trusted with the amulet.
