There exists another world, a world offering much more than what Earth has. A world brimming with the stories parents often tell their children, whimsical tales of witches, wizards, and spirits. Those stories tell of the land of Esrar. However, the fantasy that is often passed to the ears of young children is rapidly losing peace. The bond between cities Lostrona, the shining capital, and Felport, a run-down city standing in the shadows, is beginning to shatter. War erupts between the two cities, the fighting refusing to cease until the other surrenders, or is left in ruins. As the war rages, Serena is away from the fighting, living on Earth where she plans to tend to her garden peacefully. It is when she meets Jasper, who witnesses her use magic, that she is once again dragged into the realm she has spent so long shielding herself from. There is no escape from the war once she sets foot on the soil of Esrar, for she learns that she and Jasper are much more meaningful to the fate of Lostrona than she ever could have imagined.

The palace is a graveyard of dreams and hope. It slowly lures you in with its mesmerizing beauty, giving silky promises of power and wealth. But as soon as you take a step into the mirage, the doors snap shut. Then you realize... The high palace walls are nothing more than a cage of bones. The peaceful lotus pool is simply a resting place for thousands of lost souls. And laughter and smiles are a weapon to kill you before you can even mutter a single word. When lucky, a remain or two may find its way out - a fragmented jade or two bloody teeth, a remembrance that this indeed was history. From her birth, she was chained by the invisible strings of fate. What was the palace but another prison? Her bargain was her freedom, and his bet was the future of the empire. He favored the land over her, so she chose herself over him. But when she finally had the chance to escape, she found that she couldn't. For her hands were spotted with crimson blood.
