I hoped to live a quiet life with my brother and beloved aunt, but everything changed when General Escorn unexpectedly came to our estate. He gave his word to take care of my brother and me, and now Reef will have a brilliant military career, and I will be married to someone whom the multi-respected Shayr will choose for me. Perhaps I would even accept this scenario, because it was the will of my father and mother. But Lyra Noero is not used to humbling herself, and in the capital I intend to find not a groom, but a suddenly missing brother.
