On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice.

In the crumbling kingdom of Aranthia, King Valerian is haunted by visions of an apocalyptic future. Six extraordinary individuals are prophesied to either save or doom the world. Determined to recruit them as his vassals, Valerian sends his most trusted allies on perilous missions to unite these uniquely gifted heroes.

As the king and his allies confront ancient curses, political schemers, and powerful adversaries like the enigmatic Aspects, the lines between ally and enemy blur. This is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and destiny as the heroes and their abilities-each capable of bending reality-clash against the encroaching apocalypse. Will they bring salvation or destruction to their world? (This story is heavily based on anime, video games, and pop culture in general. A lot of the abilities come from said media.)
