A baby girl with skin as dark as shadows washed up on the shores of Arlaken, and was taken to the king. The royal color of Arlaken is blue, because only those of royal blood have blue eyes. The eyes of this infant were turquoise. The king and queen adopted her, and she grew up next to their own daughter, who had hair and skin of ivory.
As the girl grew up, she realized that she was very different from her sister. Suitors lined up for Lovisa, and Alira was given strange looks.
Our story starts one summer, when Alira and Lovisa are sixteen.
