AS A GIRL, SHE HAS A DANGEROUS GIFT.
CALLED BEFORE THE KING, SHE MIGHT BRING DOWN THE KINGDOM.

When thieves find an abandoned child lying in a monster's footprint,they have no idea that their wilderness discovery will change the course of history.

Cloaked in mystery, Auralia grows up among criminals outside the walls of House Abascar, where vicious beastmen lurk in shadow. There, she discovers an unsettling -- and forbidden -- talent for crafting colors that enchant all who behold them, including Abascar's hard-hearted king, an exiled wizard, and a prince who keeps dangerous secrets.
