Anessa is a very resourceful and smart young woman. At the young age of twenty-five, she is already the head of the greatest and widest-reaching intelligence network in Xylara. Under her command are multiple businesses and a private naval fleet of forty-five thousand people. She enjoys her freedom but longs most for a family, having been abandoned at birth and forced to grow up in the streets.

Soon, the old King of Xylara dies, leaving twelve sons to fights for the throne. But to become the next King, they must fulfill their father's last wish: find their long lost and only sister. The twelve princes scour the kingdom, for whoever finds her first will become the next ruler of Xylara. Finally, she is found; and her brothers find out that Anessa is a Valnaris and their sole sister and princess of the kingdom.

But, Anessa has plans of her own. With no desire to return to the capital, she instead raises the flag of Silver Palace, declaring war on the southern neighbor, Bastione. Once the two countries are at war, the northernmost country, Sartonia, is roped in through an alliance. The continent descends into chaos.

In the midst of the Continental War, Silver Palace reveals all of its cards... and its true purpose. Will Anessa avenge the pain of her past or will she lose sight of who she really is?
