He attempts to enlist her aid, but she is hesitant. Before they leave to the Palace, their guest and the Queen’s Chancellor Lord Evian reveals to her his allegiance to the Steel Wolves as well as a plot to assassinate the Queen. While they journey toward a supposed exit, on the outside Claudia prepares for her inevitable wedding. Together with Sapient Gildas, blood-brother Keiro, and rescued slave Attia, they travel through Incarceron to find the exit. She gives Finn the key as part of the ransom demand. She recognises the eagle tattoo on his wrist from a crystal key her people found. People assume he is a child of the prison, but visions induced by seizures make him believe he’s from outside, which is impossible. Inside Incarceron is Finn, a prisoner with no memories. Inside she finds a desk with a key, a crystal key adorned with an eagle in flight. With only days left before her wedding, the two break into the Warden’s study. Especially when a letter is unearthed from the Queen addressed to Claudia’s father. Her tutor, a Sapient, Jared seems to believe this also. Claudia feels something isn’t right about his death, that he was actually murdered by his step-mother the Queen.
She was first betrothed to his elder half-brother Giles, but he died young in a tragic riding accident. Claudia is arranged to marry to crown prince Caspar. Returned to an era akin to the 17th century, people are stuck in an artificial existence.
The Realm is a land forbidden from progress. But the discoveries she will uncover even she couldn’t have imagined. In some ways she despised her father, his calm, condescending demeanour. With her father having such a prestigious title, life for her should have been ideal. Claudia is the daughter of John Arlex, the Warden of Incarceron.
