Sodden Heather

The bewitching flower of the blue, Alina Xanthbridge is adored by everyone. Noblemen from various origins and lands travel the mountainous terrain of the Empire of Rondrynia just to woo and pursue her hand in marriage. Young ladies and mothers alike envy her for her nymph-like appearance and angelic voice. Moreover, Alina, always surrounded by rumors and praises, also leads the trends of high society for she is not only the most beautiful but is also the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Xanthbridge, a house second only to the imperial family. However, even with all the beauty, glamour, the wealth, dissatisfaction is still in Alina's heart. No, she's not looking for love, she can have that in a snap of a finger. Instead, she wants power, not the power she has for her unparalleled beauty, nor the power brought by her angelic voice and status, but rather, the power to rule the Grand Dukedom bestowed only upon the heir of the house, her eldest brother, Alistair. But what can she do when instead of preparing to tell her parents what she really wants, and prove to them that she is worthy to lead, she unexpectedly angered a Vera that cursed and sent her to the Kingdom of Zouran?

"That damned half-breed! If she's angry, she should have just screamed at me but no, she had the guts to curse me and send me to this awful place! Of all places, it has to be in this underwater kingdom! Just great."
