A King in need of an heir. A daughter raised as a son. At fourteen, Avalon Hall begins the adventure of her life when she travels to a distant land and begins to fall in love with Taggerty. Throughout the trilogy, Avalon battles an evil Monarch and those from within her own castle who would see the king destroyed. She falls in love with Taggerty, but both a future as king and a future as a girl in love are impossible, and as her body grows into that of a young woman, Avalon tries her best to cope. Avalon's sister, Princess Zaria, and her trusted servant, Myra George, try to help King Avalon navigate ruling her country and coming to terms with her future. But an impending enemy forces Avalon to go on the attack in a fantastic world of Anthracite monsters and brutal Runners. If she can win the battle, Avalon is willing to forget about Taggerty and to give her life for her people.
