When a chaotic rebel attack leaves Wrenley Silverspire with an unexpected soulmark, she is sent to a boring, remote town for her very first delegate assignment. She quickly gets wrapped up in an increasingly dangerous mystery looming over the small village and she must work with the local community to navigate the clues left in the wake of incidents around town. She finds herself growing fond of the new people in her life, and despite her soulbond existing somewhere in the world, her heart starts opening to someone new as they work together seeking answers. She must get to the bottom of the fatal attacks before her leadership catches on to the diminishing loyalty and growing doubts about the world she thought she knew.
