In a dog eats dog world, the demons had won the war against the humans and ruled over the land. To demons, only the strong mattered and humans were at the bottom of the totem pole. Illara was born with dark red hair and long horns and she was trained since young to become the ultimate weapon. She was adopted by the queen as a baby, her origins unknown. But the king saw opportunity and treated her as a weapon. He waged war on other kingdoms and won. Illara grew tired of being used and abused by the king, her "sister" and just about everyone else who believed the rumors. She secretly plotted her revenge against all those who had wronged her and try and find her true family and maybe even her true love? She became known as Akantha, the rose thorn warrior and the strongest around.
