After Canisver at last attacks Kabulnirca, seeking Paulia to bear his heir, her son, Ko, must flee with his sister to the rebel lands. There he will meet General Delkina, now with more "proofs of life" than ever, who will train and fuel the burning flames of wrath within our young hero.
Will Ko seek revenge for his father's homeland? Or will he look further to his mother's kingdom of Tormia, and at last retake the throne for the Koning bloodline? The responsibility may be too great for a boy his age to bear, and with the rebel forces dwindling, there is little chance of his success. Still, the red-blue twisting color of his Unmei petaled eyes tell of a great future that is unknown, in which destiny must claim its right, and the impossible demands a place in reality.
