Batt hasn't felt genuinely welcome—in court or among her own family—since she was a child, because Battine is a rare descendant of royalty who doesn't look like it. The gods chose not to smile upon her, genetically. She's an unblessed. An outcast. Still, she goes. And when a member of the royal family is murdered in the castle, she's the first person accused. Of course. Battine teams
