A frail kingdom. A dangerous weapon. A lost soldier with the power to tip the balance.

Out of his obsession for learning, Kazuri, a Maestro of knowledge, recreates a destructive machine used in the last catastrophic war in the kingdom of Daracka. This weapon's only fuel is an explosive energy inside the body of an experimental soldier. Kazuri must have it, and so the hunt for the soldier begins.

Jiro, a boy with the ability to fly, is a Maharlika from Aradack who only wants to live ordinarily, staying on their island for the rest of his life. But when a tragedy strikes his family, his home becomes a constant torment of memories. He joins the hunt to escape his pain and sets out to find the soldier who would change his fate.

Reiji is the Matu, next in line for the throne of Daracka. He quenches his ambition to rule, but when he learns that someone he trusts betrayed him, he lets the fire inside him burn. He plays his own game of secrecy, risking the peace of the kingdom.
