Sixteen years later, Aster is a bit salty. Is sending a Speakowl every once in a while too much to ask? Aster's mom had to up and vanish, leaving her with nothing but high expectations and low self-esteem.</p><p></p><p>Well, except for the armor. The Magic Armor of Light, bequeathed to her via a note from one of her cousins telling her she'd better come fetch it or else she won't become the best female warrior in history, thus crushing her mother's dreams.

Aster teams up with Fury, a notorious local thief, and discovers girls are disappearing all over the kingdom. The threat is bigger than either of them could've imagined. It's starting to look like her mother's armor might be the only path to success. For Aster and the girls.</p><p></p><p>Aster must decide: Accept the legacy that abandoned her or face failing forever at the one thing she's ever been good at.</p>
