***
As a healer in the Obsidian Castle, One follows a voice into the forest, speaking from the mist. It tells him he's the Destroyer, straight out of prophecy, and that he's not a Night Warrior like the other residents of the castle.

Eight years later, One's doing a great job hiding that his magic works like no one else's in the Obsidian Castle. But Perseverance, a Night Warrior who believes One needs redirection to find "proper" romance, makes One's life miserable from sundown to sunup. So One's plan to get Perseverance out of his life is to date his daughter--until she discovers his light magic and turns on him, making him flee into the woods.

One has many reasons to despise Perseverance. So when he meets Michael, an expert at light magic, it's really not a question of "if" One will embrace this prophetic Destroyer role and enact vengeance--it's a matter of One having no clue how to control his magic, or take on a castle full of Night Warriors by himself. But with Michael, he's not alone. And with their combined magic, One could summon the dawn itself to carry out revenge.
