A world where there is one king, 4 ranks, and hundreds of tribes a small girl of lowest rank and one of the most hated tribes manages to find herself in the sacred temple only high ranking priests, or Hanefites, could go into. She had been told the stories of the beauty and majesty of the temple. The riches and spoils that adorned the walls and were like waves of jewels covering the floors. Entering without a gift of highest quality let alone permission was certain death. But finding herself with nothing while at the foot of the throne, a conversation with the king might have her surrending all.โ€ฆ
