"Sometimes, the best way to sell a lie is to tell a different truth..."

When horrible luck forces package courier Dory off his usual delivery route and through the monster-riddled countryside, he happens across a peculiar hermit. But the last thing the former revolutionary expected to find during the fateful encounter was the sole surviving member of the royal family he once helped overthrow.

For her part, Quin just wanted freedom. Solitude. A chance to leave the terrible abuse of her past behind her. After all, escaping an evil Queen isn't easy. Far from her horrible home, peace was finally in Quin's grasp. Or, it would have been-if a piece of the past hadn't just barged in her front door and began asking questions best left unanswered.

Now the unlikely duo finds themselves stuck together on an ill-conceived road trip across a broken nation. Can either hope to escape the other's plots and schemes? But with a mysterious third party moving in the shadows, they may just have to do the unthinkable to survive-trust each other.

With life, death, and love on the line, who will be deceived?

And who will be the last one standing?
