Princess Ashea, whose life is turned upside down when her father, King Singa, is killed by a raid on the Fwajall imperial palace by a force from "Edel Garden." Without a home, Ashea is forced to wander the continent with her retainer Poofe, her late father's Edel Raid, Jin, a swindling woman named Melfond, and later, an Edel Raid hunter Wolxe and his Edel Raid Tilel. Ashea is forced to not only think of taking back her country, but also about whether she is truly as fit for the job as her father, and discern what is truth from falsehood, friendship from betrayal.
