The Chronicle
The Name
Adamaris is among the oldest names in Frysia. It reaches back to a captain the sea once chose, and to an admiral who sailed his fleet away on the darkest night in Frysian history. Jackie and her sister Amicia were raised to carry it. Yet the Veritas wakes for very few, and the governor came to raise two girls who could wake it, a chance that Jackie no longer believes was chance.
The Sister
Amicia was the daughter Vryehelm loved. Jackie stood a step behind her and watched how their father used her, sending her wherever he needed a room turned in his favor. Then Amicia died, and the governor mourned the ring she had worn more than the girl who wore it.
The Crew
Her father means to marry her to a Britannian royal. Instead she joined the crew that would steal what he wants most, and for two years she kept a record of everything its members said. When that record showed her a danger to the mission, she carried it to the one man she believed would settle it quietly. It was the worst choice she has ever made.
Her sister tried to mend their father's world. Jackie means to learn what he has hidden in it.
