Na ve Princess Anna is thrust into a fight for the throne on her thirteenth birthday, but she won't have to fight alone. A knight is given to every noble in the Kingdom of Rutig. Not of flesh and blood, the hollow suit of armor will stay by Anna's side no matter what. With no will of his own, his emotions are erratic, his voice cutting, and he will never reveal why he is so loyal to her. With friends Bart and Shel, a jokester who is more than meets the eye and a sickly girl who is far scarier than her knight, Anna goes through her first year at the Nobles' School of Thane. Time is of the essence as Anna's siblings' patience runs thin when bloodshed leaves the throne vacant again--soon one of them will make the first move. Whether Anna's downfall comes from within or without, it will certainly be a fun ride down.
