This is a world where your worth is as much as the colour of your blood. Akira is the queen's most trusted soldier and general. Being the highest ranked amongst others, she is ruthless in doing her job. She only has one weakness: she cannot see colours. The world only represents itself as black and white to her and she has learnt to use it to her advantage. She slashes people with her sword without even batting an eye - the blood splattered across is merely a liquid that holds no meaning to her. In the kingdom of Lucida, the people are divided based on the colour of their blood. Royalty bear white blood, noblemen take crimson, commoners live with blue while the servants, considered the lowest in the ranks, are left with yellow blood. No one is allowed to marry outside their ranks and no one ever dares to break the norm throughout the centuries. When the queen orders her to find the identity of the mysterious Shadow King, she sets out on a quest to find the real king. Her list is narrowed down to 7 men, all from different backgrounds. Blood has to be shed in order to confirm the king's identity but she has one problem: she cannot determine the truth with her own eyes.
