KEY IDEAS
Merion is a young mouse who has worked hard to overcome her physical disability and earn her place as a messenger for the Royal Message Service. Her life is upended when she witnesses the beginning of a high treason plot against the crown and citizens of Lyleechee. Worse, those plotting the treason follow Merion with ill intent. In Merion's desperation to escape her pursuers she meets Xander Shadow, a former LITE agent. Before it was disbanded, LITE was the premier intelligence agency for the country of Lyleechee, but now it is only a legend--a fanciful bedtime tale told to wee ones. The threat to Lyleechee is real and Shadow recognizes that LITE is needed now more than ever. He reforms LITE and recruits Merion to the newly formed LITE Academy as an agent in training. Merion's progressing well, but before she finishes the academy, she is called upon to help foil the plot to take over Lyleechee. Join Merion as she uses her cunning, courage, and daring to help Lyleechee.
