Sinda Azaway is living the life of a princess in Vivaskari just after her sixteenth birthday when she learns she is really the daughter of a weaver who has been forced to live as a stand-in for the true princess. This exchange occurred due to a prophecy that indicated the princess would die before her sixteenth birthday. Sinda is sent away to live with her only surviving relative, an aunt who is a dyer in the tiny village of Treb.
