What's the cost to restore the rightful ruler to Tira's throne? After young noblewoman Jasmine saves the local duke from assassination, she finds herself in a perilous position: she is almost killed in retaliation. Rescued by a serious young captain named Beau, she stumbles into joining a clandestine group called the Freedom Fighters. As she finds her way in this new world as Jez, far different from her upbringing, she also learns that Tira is under threat. When "the Three" run a successful coup and take control of the country, things seem impossible. What are a couple hundred insurgents going to do? But as Jez and her friends find their way, suddenly the odds don't look so stacked against them. Until disaster hits: on a mission, Jez and her partner, Jay, are captured and imprisoned. Jez chooses to tell their new cellmates the tale of the Freedom Fighters while dealing with a determined interrogator and the Three themselves. Realizing that she might not know the whole story either, Jez and friends collide with the Three in an all-out war for Tira.
