Being a bastard blows. Tilla would know. Her daddy, Lord Kent of the American Province, adored her as a child but cast her besides when he had trueborn children. At 16 Tilla spends her times discovering long-forgotten tunnels beneath the castle with her stablehand 50 percent sibling, Jax, and her nights ingesting with the servants, fainting on Jax's floor while her castle bedroom gathers particles. Tilla secretly longs to remain by her father's side, enjoying feasts with all of those other family. Instead she sits with the other bastards, like Mls of House Hampstedt, an awkward scholar who's experienced love with Tilla since they were children. Then, at a feast honoring the visiting princess Lyriana, the royal shocks everyone by choosing to remain at the Bastards' Desk. Before she recognizes it, Tilla is leading the sheltered princess over a late-night escapade. Along with Jax, Mls, and fellow bastard Zell, a Zitochi warrior from the north, they stumble after a crime these were never meant to witness. Rebellion is brewing in the west, and a brutal coup leaves Lyriana's uncle, the Royal Archmagus, inactive - with Lyriana next on the list. The group flees because of their lives, relentlessly pursued by murderous mercenaries; their own parents have put a price on their mind to avoid the king and his powerful Royal Mages from discovering their treachery. The bastards music group together, recognizing they by itself have the power to avoid a civil warfare that will tear their kingdom aside - if indeed they can warn the king with time. And if indeed they can survive the journey.
