Stories are always forgotten. Tales of kings and war, peace, and love; they all become background noises to the reality that a person finds themselves in. Maximilian Callisto's reality is that despite the world being at peace she is but a slave. To make matters worse, Maxi finds herself separated from the only family she had left. With her younger sister Elsje having been sold to the criminal organization Underworld, Maxi is forced to go out into a world she's never known in search of her and finds herself embroiled in the court intrigue at the heart of the world. With assassins, nobles, and Hades himself all seeking to halt every move she makes, Maxi finds herself powerless. Who can she lean on in this court of strangers, if not The God who's attentions she has seemingly attracted? Will her new love for Anu Ilu be the source of her strength or her ruin? Her reputation and the lives of her sister and new found friends on the line, will Maxi be able to claim power for herself? Or will the nobles drag her name through the mud? Will she be able to salvage what little is left of her good name, or will she forever be remembered as The Mistress of Ilu?
