On the world of Ila, where gods and ethereal beings walk among men, a cosmic catastrophe has left the inhabitants in a dystopian decay where magic and technology, tradition and progress are in constant conflict.  The children of the gods struggle to learn their fates and who they are, and where an unseen force presses down on them, threatening to destroy all magic and ancient mystical things.  

In the midst of all of this, a traveler of origin unknown, named only Serene, becomes an unlikely partner to a solitary acolyte on a mission. After adventuring together, they come to realize they are in love. But, Serene has another fate. Love is not the goal but part of the adventure, and if it's true, then love will withstand the test of time and distance.

"If I could stop this, would I? I mean, in the end god only knows I deserve it." In the eyes of the mortals, eternal life is a blessing, while for a truly immortal, as scarred as her, it is a curse. With eternal life comes eternal memory and with eternal memory comes eternal suffering. Suffering that she would rather end by simply ceasing to exist. But there are only so many things that can kill a goddess and mental torture is not one of them. "Falling in love was never an option, but here we are, so I am begging you... please don't leave me. Not like this." Fate has always been something she hasn't believed in, but as her very own book of fates appears before her, she is forced to reconsider all that she has believed in previously. Even the possibility that she might be capable of love after all. As life threatening situations and conspiracies inside the palace make her concentrate on the present, she will have to either let go of the past and embrace the future or ready herself for a whole new world full of pain she could never have imagined before. "We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love. " - Sigmund Freud
