The Empire of Pagegonia is facing its biggest change in the last hundred years. The entire populace is in an uproar with the shifting hands of power. Cetlali Wisterkin was born a ward of the empire and has risen above the life that was given to her. Though she's always struggled to fit in and follow orders, she's slowly molded herself into a respectable adult with a bright future ahead. She's far from the wild and unruly youth she used to be and made a name for herself as steward to the head of one of the most powerful families in the entire realm, The Armisteads. Upon moving to the Citadel she is thrust into the epicenter of sociopolitical intrigue and expected to ruthlessly succeed inside an empire rife with change. It just so happens the Armisteads are in the midst of it. Cetlali has weathered the pernicious drama of the family's legacy and the social necessities of the court for decades now. She killed the odd child she used to be, and now she feels displeased with the direction her life is heading. She has always done what was asked of her and made her choices according to the whims of others. For the first time in her life, she wants to decide on her own future, far away from the whispers and expectations heaped upon her soul without her permission. Cetlali is realizing what she wants and what others want for her are now at odds and she has to decide if she wants to keep living in a world that revolves around pleasing other people, or if she wants to find her spine and finally live her life for herself.
