"A serpent exacts vengeance on those who harm them. And they give it back a thousand times over." Over the years, an academy was built as a safe haven for the children of gods and other legends. The academy is there to help them control their powers and learn how to live normally among regular humans. When Axel, the son of Apolaki, the sun god, gave the order to kill everyone in the Sawa dorm, one of the kids, Sigren, was able to escape. Years later, Sigren returns to the academy to take revenge on those who have killed his brethren. But his revenge does not stop there. He plans to steal the seventh and final moon in order to summon Bakuna, the serpent who ingested the previous six moons and ensured that night would never end. Maya, as the daughter of the moon goddess Mayari, seems to be the only one who has the capability to stop Sigren, as the serpents don't seem to have any intention of hurting her. But what can she do against a madman who sees nothing but red and black? Furthermore, what does Maya have that makes her special to the serpents?
