Second Edition

I am Ultima Skylar, and I am in big trouble. You see, I witnessed the assassination of the Prince regent of my Kingdom. I survived because I'm an expert at kicking the groin of any man with my high heels. Yes, my friend, now I am a suspect, and my owner is doing nothing to protect me. Oh, but to add insult to injury, I must work with a broken leg, must hide my magic, or my owner will kill my only daughter.

Life sucks for me.

I need help to stay alive! I can't keep living expecting to be assassinated at any minute. Our King is dying, and we need his youngest son, Prince Soren, to step up and replace the dead Prince. There is one big problem: it has been months since anyone has seen Prince Soren. He went to war, and he stopped sending messages back home. Oh, so they told us!

However, at a party, I saw a ghost of happiness pass. There I was, at a party, all dolled up and beautiful, and Lord Otto Hightower stood in front of me asking for a dance. And who is Otto Hightower, you may ask? He is a foreigner but one that has the power to help.

Darkness is taking over the Kingdom, and I can't do anything about it, at least not as a slave. Could a one-time lover be the one to help me, an Exotic?
