Enter a world of four culturally distinct kingdoms and the highly trained women who strive to maintain order and harmony among them.
Meet Anna, a young woman of privilege seeking to find her way in that world who learns her most important lesson in a chance encounter with a girl living in poverty.
Discover why what you believe is the most important thing in determining how you will live.
Anna's World is made up of four kingdoms, bordered by three seas, and ends in an impassable, frozen plateau where the Dovarsha-Issen stands on her balcony, held in place her own choice.
All her life, Anna's mother and Old Marta have groomed her to join the ranks of the Viszudar: a diplomatic corps of women who work to preserve the unity of the four kingdoms that arose from the rubble of a once-perfect world. But is ability destiny? When her call to formal training finally comes, Anna is torn between a simpler, safer future or the uncertainty and danger of serving her Dovarsha, the female ruler of her kingdom.
As Anna struggles through her own dilemma, an ominous threat surfaces. Historically, the unique characteristics of the four kingdoms have benefited and balanced each other, enabling a long - through sometimes fragile - peace to exist among them. But when a dramatic innovation in the Kishtar Kingdom tips the balance ever so slightly, Anna's father unintentionally starts a series of events that breathes new life into an ancient evil.
Soon, Anna finds herself caught in situations more complicated than she ever imagined, starting with one that threatens the lives of her entire training group. Though many see her abilities, Anna herself doubts that she will be up to the challenges. Finally, trained but untested, Anna realizes she must face the oldest of adversaries completely alone.
