Sienna is the sixteen-year-old daughter of the Desert Queen and the sole surviving heir to a throne fraught with a long history of tension and war. The desertlands, the last of the freelands, are sought after by the waterlanders' Warrior King. The waterlanders have thus far been unable to overtake the desertlands because of a simple gift the desertlanders all possess- extremely heightened senses. The rulers of the desertlands possess the strongest senses of all. Sienna longs to flee from her gift. The heightened senses of her race allow her no peace. One fateful day Sienna makes a decision...

In a land known as the Four Kingdoms, where mountains hang bottomless above thick clouds, deserts stretch endless under the hot sun and small islands float surrounded by dark seas, the Waterlands threaten to forever steal the peace and freedom of all. Yet there is still one place where peace hangs on the precipice of hope. Here a warrior the size of a small girl fights to defend a blind child. She is the last of her kind and the only hope for peace.
