The proud Nevistian royalty is in tatters. With the Queen being rendered infertile after bearing a child during a plague that struck 13 years prior, Anna is the only living heir to the throne. The young royal didn't escape harm in her mother's womb, and darkness made off with her sight, rendering her unfit to rule the throne. Ashamed, her parents hid her birth from the outside.
