Ready to make something of herself, young magpie bird Cadence scores a leading role at Crystal Entertainment. A prequel to "The Cadence of Redshore", which tells the story of how Cadence worked her way to the top of Redshore City, explores her history with Klaus, and all the drama that comes with trying to succeed in an industry that prioritizes self-preservation above all else.

A successful and beautiful magpie bird, Cadence seems to live the dream. But she always dreams of more, of princes, castles, and happily ever afters. When she meets the prince of her dreams it is on the night of his wedding, and the same night that a friend reveals his true feelings. Torn between love and desire, she will sacrifice everything to take, and keep, her prince. OCxKlaus
