A Flight From Shadows: Chronicles of Duradim, Part 1: Ascension of a Queen, Volume I

In the shadowed courts of Kuvia, High elf To'Ara stands less than two years from the coronation that will name her a ruling princess. Long-buried secrets of her past have stirred, and she has set her will upon uncovering them. But some truths, once sought, refuse to remain silent.
As the eastern provinces teeter on the edge of war with the west, assassins' blades seek her life and claim those closest to her.
Loyalties fray.
Trust becomes a rare and costly thing.
The safety she has known all her life is revealed as nothing more than an illusion. If she is to survive—and save the newfound teacher and friend who walks beside her— she must learn the hardest lesson of all: How to stand alone.
Some truths demand a price. Some shadows must be fled before they claim you.
Illusions fall.
Shadows remain.
