All his life, Garret Raidenson was taught two specific ideas: the Calentals were a people living in the shadow of deception, who were in need of rescue, and it was him who was destined to do it.
When he meets a beautiful Calental girl in the forest, it's no surprise that Garret tries to save her from her brainwashed state. As their friendship begins to form, Garret learns that, perhaps, he is the one actually living in darkness. She talks to him about a freedom and peace he has only dreamed about, and a doomed love is formed between the enemies. The world will never again be the same.
But Garret is the son of the first High General, making him the third most powerful person among the Faonyals. He has been through training and schooling all his life to prepare him for his inevitable fate. He was born to wage war against Cael, the Lord of the Calentals, and unite the world under one order once again. With the weight of the world and it's future on his shoulders, Garret must learn to cope with the pressure, his father's abuse, and his own longing for more, making any relationship between the two groups completely impossible.
The line is swiftly drawn between the two sides, and Garret must choose which one is really shrouded in darkness. Will he choose his father and his destiny, or fight against fate and go with the girl who promises life? Through a journey of risks, romance, rejection, and confusion, Garret is determined to find the truth before the lies destroy him.

"Wait Leah!"
I wanted to tell her that she is not like a sister to me and that I love her, but something stopped me. The hope that shone in her eyes stopped me.
War is unpredictable. The outcomes are unpredictable. If I were to tell her the truth and we were to fall in love, wouldn't there be more risks.
I'll be worried about her constantly, as she'll be about me. If I were to get injured in the field, she will have to spend her life taking care of me. If I were to die, wouldn't I hurt her more than now.
