As a child, Deri was sold to one of the Market's most powerful merchants. Now, after years of watchful servitude, Deri finally spots a chance to buy not only his freedom but also his place amongst the Market's elite when he stumbles into the path of a runaway princess desperate to sell her royal destiny. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut news of the missing princess and her wayward destiny spreads. Royal enforcers and Master Merchants alike are after it.
