Josef and Sofia are from two entirely different worlds, one a beautiful princess destined to rule the country in years to come, the other the son of paupers born to beg on the streets and live in dirt. They are linked by only one thing: rats. The whole kingdom is infested with the disease-ridden animals that cause so much strife for the ihabitants. When a mysterious lute-player arrives claiming he can save the country, the self-absorbed king jumps at the chance to prove to his subjcest and his wife that he is still fit to run his country. When the fluter obliges, the king is so caught in his own success he tries to outwit the player, by refusing to pay him. The fluter leaves, declaring they will all be sorry... had he known it would be his daughter who paid, would the king have so offhandly condemned all of Hammeln?

In a kingdom built on beauty called Lilith Kingdom there was once a soldier named Aristide. As strong as steel, half as large as a corn stalk, and just the sight of him caused young maidens to faint in the streets. Everybody knew what he looked like, but never got to know him personally. Some people said he was nice, others said he was cold, the truth was no one knew. Everyone said, You're so young and handsome, why don't you find yourself a girl to be your wife, but he never answered. No one knew that Aristide was looking for someone who loved him not because of his appearance but because of his personality. He was trying to find someone who knew when his birthday was, someone who knew his name. What he didn't know was that the love he was seeking was just as lost as he was in the deserted lands not that far away. Acacia, a beautiful girl with a scarred face, her parents named her Acacia, which means abandoned. The wasteland is the place where every person who was "DEFECTIVE" was placed. Acacia was a beautiful girl who was inquisitive, she was always looking for an adventure or occasionally looking for a little trouble. She was 17 with beautiful long locks of silk chestnut colored hair and bronzed skin but a small scar on her left eye. One problem was that Acacia was a female and her birthday was 2 months away. The law of the wasteland is that all females must be wed at the age 18. Acacia loves no one other than her adoptive father because in the wasteland most people don't love at all and think of themselves to be a curse. She says she would need more time but, how will she get the time to find that love. Let's begin the story.
