(Season 1 of the Ace of Darkness series)

"You were never meant to be a curse. A warrior. Like you are. Not darkness. A heart."

A heart is more than just power.

Margaret Raesaryen is a mysterious warrior in the kingdom of Karthass - one that establishes a realm for the Hearts. But everything drastically changes when she suddenly hears about the cursed, dark tyrannical ruler known as the Joker King, one who wields secrets, dark magic and blood - who is about to change her life and make it seem like a curse. His evilness - known to have been written by many people - is unravelling before her, seemingly for a complicated reason.

She is not just a soldier, in a world where betrayal is calling, and destiny has fallen. She willingly fights to protect her heart, but that wouldn't be done yet.

Her fate is coming, and now destiny is falling - leading her training to become a warrior, in a deadly game led by the Joker King. She is not just a warrior - bound to be cursed, all for what's left in a world in danger and full of tragic fates, and intense swordplay.

As she struggles to understand why the Jokers have taken over - she needs to find a way to survive. She must have allies, including one who is a part of the Diamonds, which is also the one who lost their mother as a child and had their father captured by the Joker. But he can't seem to understand the somehow mysterious King that has haunted him. 

As she and her friends try to stop the curses that unravel fates and secrets by the Joker King - it's not the only thing they will do. As no one is safe due to an unfathomable, deadly game that includes the curses unbroken, they will grow - and become darker, making them unable to be erased and that includes embracing between life and death.

The wars have risen, but the warriors will cease them.

But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel.
