The nefarious swamp witch Zygo Mycota has been trapped for decades in a cursed helm of prophesy. Released from her prison, the sorceress must contend with the unwelcome tidings of a new royal ordinance restricting the use of magic across the realms. Zygo must navigate the new regime seeking to subjugate her kind, and what better way to beat the system than from within?

Adapting to her new role as the realm’s Royal Sorceress, Zygo Mycota and her knight escort, Sir Carrick Stone are sent to review a strange new conveyance powered by extraordinary magic. The witch pioneering this unlikely pairing of magic and machine is eager to be granted her license to perform great acts of magic. But others are not so eager to accept the realm’s ordinance.

Attending a Royal Solstice celebration, Zygo encounters the first coordinated resistance to her adopted role as the realm’s Royal Sorceress. A missing memory and conflicting loyalties are at play as Zygo strives to determine what extent of authority is justified and what trespasses can be forgiven.
