This collection of short stories follows Trinket's journey from Tampica's Red Lion Slave House to an unexpected life among huntresses, assassins, and dragons.

Welcome to the Realms of Shon-Dar, a medieval fantasy world where survival means choosing your allies wisely—even when they're the most dangerous creatures in the land.
From the golden spires of Sunspire to the endless expanse of the Thunder Steppe, from ancient catacombs to isolated homesteads, the people of Shon-Dar navigate a world where slavers and pirates clash with magi and djinn, where ancient vampires command the darkness and dragonesses walk among mortals. Here, three souls find their paths between freedom and captivity, safety and danger, isolation and belonging.
Amethyst the Pixie flits through Sunspire's golden streets with relentless optimism and an inability to stay out of trouble. As the last of her kind in this strange desert land, she's learned that the most fearsome predators sometimes make the best protectors—and that a golden cage with an open door can be more home than any flower ever was.
Marianne the Baker, shunned by her own Traveler people, discovers that true freedom isn't about chains or their absence—it's about choosing where to place your loyalty. In the ancient catacombs beneath Sunspire, serving a vampire lord who values her skills, she finally finds the purpose and belonging that her own tribe never offered.
Asad the Horseman knows the brutal reality of life on the Thunder Steppe, where raiders strike without warning and every homestead stands alone against the vast emptiness. When violence shatters his world, he learns that survival sometimes means accepting help—and that rebuilding requires more courage than revenge.
Three voices. Three journeys. One truth: in a world where danger lurks around every corner, family isn't always blood, and home isn't always where you started.
