Sixteen-year-old Princess Katrin is leaving Mordania for the first time, on her way to take the Grand Tour of the Middle Continent. For the first time in her life, she will leave her title and ties to the Royal Family of Mordania behind and travel incognito with her family. What promises to be a carefree, happy time devoted to learning and new experiences is soon overshadowed with danger and uncertainty. Katrin learns that escaping her identity is not possible - and that all friends are not true. Twists of fate derail the plans Katrin and her foster father, Menders, have made. Though she has no desire to become the Queen of Mordania, Katrin finds herself being impelled toward the Throne, no matter what she does to avoid it. An ancient Thrun Prophecy fortells the lives of three "chosen children" and is linked to Katrin and her foster brothers, Hemmett and Borsen. Loves are found and lost; choices, good and bad, are made - and three brilliant stars in the night sky are inexorably tied to Katrin and her brothers, bringing love and sacrifice to them all.
