Kel is the sword catcher, and you might be like, what the heck is a sword catcher? Well, when Kel was young and an orphan, he was chosen to become the sword catcher because he looked a lot like Prince Connor, the heir to the throne.
Basically, Kel's job is to stand in for Connor at certain events where people aren't really going to notice that Connor isn't Connor, but he's actually Kel.
So that way, if any assassination attempt were to happen, the sword would hit Kel and not Connor.
Now, this is a rough job to grow up with because you're kind of just supposed to die and just, like, accept it if anything were to happen.
Meanwhile, far away from the glitz and glamour of the palace, Lin is a physician who is trying to heal her best friend from a long illness.
She has magical abilities, but not enough to succeed, and she's worried that if she doesn't, her friend Mariam is going to die.
Basically, this guy is a mastermind who has this network of criminals in a criminal underworld.
The Ragpicker King can give them what they desire, but it kind of comes with a price.
Corruption and danger lurk beneath the kingdom, and Kel and Lin might be the only people who know enough about it to do something to change it.
And as they get deeper and deeper entangled into this web of deceit, they're gonna have to realize that they might be making a deadly mistake, because their actions could cause war among the nations.
Both Kel and Lin are outcasts from society in different ways, and they don't really understand their full identity, but now they might never get a chance to do so.
