A shocking revelation reveals completing their mission will require a sacrifice too great to bear. Still, Zaena is bound and determined to save all elves, no matter the cost.
Meanwhile, a hidden foe with a very different interpretation of sacrifice is ready to make a move and confirm the darkest truths of the prophecies guiding the team. Betrayal stalks Team Princess and pushes them into a corner.
Surrounded by enemies on all sides, there's no choice left but to fight.
Zaena came to San Francisco on a quest to save her people. Now, she'll need to save millions of humans from a deadly army beyond imagination.

- Sword Diplomacy
1
What is the difference between ignorance and stupidity? Ignorance can be solved if you live long enough. Zaena has been sent as an Elven emissary to learn and build a relationship with humanity. She's only two hundred and fifty years old, so time should be on her side. Except she gets involved in a brutal gang war in the first month of landing on the shores of the West Coast of the United States. San Francisco, to be exact. Zaena quickly learns that her knowledge of humanity is closer to the twentieth than the present day twenty-first century. So much for her teachers' study of humanity's television shows. She's got attitude, magic, and a sacred armor pendant. What she doesn't have is a clue. She will survive her ignorance or die trying to build a bridge and save her people.
- Gangland Politics

What is the difference between ignorance and stupidity? Zaena's story continues as she continues to learn that her knowledge of humanity is closer to the twentieth than the present day twenty-first century. She's got attitude, magic, and a sacred armor pendant and she needs to save her people!
- Explosive Negotiations
3
Just when you think you understand life, an elf throws you a curveball. Zaena has to deal with a recalcitrant elf who won't listen to reason and doesn't care about his people or hers. He is out for himself. Unfortunately for him, his gang headquarters is smack-dab on top of a location Zaena needs. To further complicate matters, the gang wars in San Francisco have attracted the attention of humans who might know too much for Zaena's safety. Will she be able to negotiate her way out of this situation with words or power?
- Nefarious Intentions
4
Zaena's recent assault against the gangs has devastated not only her elven enemy but struck the heart of San Francisco's organized crime. Will she get any credit for that? Unlikely. With the city secure and her newfound control of the nexus, is she ready to move on to the next stage of her plan? Displays of power invite challenges from the strong, but not all challengers are honorable. Reconstructing and protecting the building around the nexus should be a simple matter, but hidden dangers await in the Black Lotus Club. Rumors of dangerous and brutal attacks spark worry. Is this a new, deadlier magical threat? Someone or something is cutting a bloody swath across the United States and heading straight toward San Francisco. Unfortunately, not every human who knows about magic is ready to put aside their avarice to help Zaena. Zaena thought she was on a mission of mercy, but has she actually started a magical war?
- Unidentified Assailants
5
Can a princess make herself safe from dragons by hiding in her castle? Zaena is rebuilding the club over the nexus with a plan to make it a powerful symbol of hope in Chinatown. However, she has not forgotten the mission to help her people. If only she could get a certain stubborn elf to cooperate. Without the aid of all the elven tribes, will she be able to complete the ritual to save her people? Curiosity can be far deadlier than bravery. Her vacation is cut short when she's called to investigate a mysterious location in the desert. A location that holds an ancient and terrible secret. It doesn't help that UFOs are now buzzing the forests near San Francisco and threatening humans. Zaena used to be worried about a war between humans and elves. Does she now have to worry about a war with aliens? The elven princess thought she was prepared to face any challenge. It's time for Zaena to encounter her most bizarre threat since leaving the enclave.
- Unexpected Ultimatum
6
If all else fails, stab with a sword. Zaena's close to securing the final artifacts she needs to save her people, but doing so requires her to strike deals with the most dangerous elven tribes. Thousands of years ago, diplomacy failed, and she has only hope to convince her it'll work this time. Trusting the cobra to protect you from the scorpion isn't a great idea on the best of days. Team Princess has advanced too far to succeed without the help of powerful humans. Zaena doesn't know whom to trust when every human around her wants to take advantage of her power for their own agenda. A surprising request from an ally forces her into a deadly race against time. A revelation from an unexpected source might throw out everything Zaena thought she knew about humans and magic. A shocking and mysterious death in a peaceful country could be the lead Zaena needs or a dangerous trap. There is no path left for her but boldly striding forward and accepting that honor and courage aren't all she needs to win. Zaena is pushed to her limit against her greatest threat yet.
- Popular Disinformation
8
Was defeating the monsters under the seas of Europe the end of Zaena's worries? Well, no. She knows the worst battle will come at the Night Elves' abandoned enclave. Is it possible the demise of the Night Elves was exaggerated? Something is bringing back creatures that hadn't threatened humanity since elves walked among them. Zaena and Team Princess confront threats all over the country, but how can a warrior be prepared if she doesn't know what she might face? The tenuous multitribal alliance thinks Zaena is asking too much of the other enclaves and not enough of her own. It's easy to ask others to sacrifice, but are the rest of the noble elves willing to do the same?
- An Unclear Future
7
Is basing one's strategy on dream riddles the best idea? Zaena doesn't know what to make of her new friend's prophetic ability, but she's ready to use any tools available to her. Can Zaena's belief in her ultimate success justify the cost of using Saelli's abilities? A critical new clue sends her away from her new home to confront an ancient threat in Europe. Zaena thinks she's ready for whatever might come, but as everyone knows, even a battle-hardened elven princess can be surprised. Does anyone really expect a dead tribe to come back to life?
- Unbearable Choices
