Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters upon the five kingdoms of Calandra to remind us that humans are insignificant—that we must pray to the gods for mercy throughout our fragile, fleeting lives. I didn't need a deity to remind me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance—twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions. My sister revels in the spectacle, basking in the attention and flawlessly playing her part. I was never asked to be part of the charade.

Wenn du dich nicht fürchtest, machst du etwas falsch. Vor sehr langer Zeit erschufen die Götter Monster und setzten sie in den fünf Königreichen Calandras aus, um uns daran zu erinnern, dass wir Menschen unbedeutend sind – dass wir unser kurzes, zerbrechliches Leben lang zu den Göttern beten müssen.

Eine Prinzessin zu sein, war nie mehr als eine Scharade – dreiundzwanzig Jahre voll wertloser Titel und oberflächlicher Traditionen.
