Toughened by years on her own, her mother dead, her father viewing her as a monster, Hikari has grown used to concealing the very thing the queen would have her executed for. She can't survive on the battered streets forever, though, and when she is finally discovered, she puts self-preservation behind her in a quest to liberate the world. Her path is not set in stone, and it's time to change her fate. She has nothing left to lose, and nobody could possibly miss her-that is, until she and Sarah cross paths. How could bubbly, bothersome Sarah and anxious, defensive Hikari be friends? More importantly, how will Hikari ever complete her mission when there is someone who needs her?
