In an industrial-fantasy world, the knightly Princess Zofia Tourmaline teams up with the transgender rogues Val and Lizabet to fight against a secret society of depraved slavers, using as much trickery and crime as swordplay. (Content warning: rape and non-consensual slavery are portrayed, but treated as serious villainy and contrasted against healthy sex-positive relationships and BDSM.)

The king's knights were mostly bastards and their sons were ripped away from home and family at a early age. They were trained in a rough and brutal way to be knights like their fathers.

My decision to fight with a company of regulars might have offended everyone but I had made the choice. Besides, I knew the dance of war and these men would follow me.
