24 parts Ongoing MatureIn a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive.
Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes.
Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers.
But grief has a way of breaking things open.
As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face.
Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper.
And those were only stories.
Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible.
Because the Veil is thinning again.
And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.
