The body you just left was that of a fifteen-year-old girl named Thea.
As Thea, you had left your parents' house to seek your fortune, only
to be set upon by robbers who took everything you had and knocked you

a dragon, a cow, and a prince. Before even that you had lived many
other lives, but you remember the earlier ones less clearly. But
there is one thing you remember only too well: in one of your past
lives, as the prince or the dragon or maybe even before that, you did
some terrible things. Thea was to have been a great hero, your chance
to save as many lives as you had destroyed before. But her life was
cut short. The Council of Fates has been patient with you, but you
have a feeling their patience is running
