Kerena Ivy, orphaned in a ship wreck, must make friends and travel the storied Saffron Road to the fabled city of Messini, where she must guise herself as a boy to survive the dangers of the streets. Kerena will be forced to face her new life but not alone and not without powers she little realizes have been awakened within. Thus begin the adventures of Kerena Ivy, a young girl thrown into a magical world, destined on a path that verges with seers and wizards, soldiers and rogues, for she will either flourish and become one of the mighty or she will falter and fade into the mists of time.
