Apat na babae. Apat na sugatang kaluluwa mula sa iba't ibang sulok ng modernong mundo. Walang nakakaalam kung paano, ngunit isang mahiwagang libro ang biglang nagbuklod sa kanila. Isang librong walang pamagat. Walang pahina. Walang kwento. Ngunit sa oras na binuksan nila ito, ang kanilang mga buhay ay unti-unting naisulat... at ang mundong akala nila'y kathang-isip lamang, ay totoo pala. Sa mundo ng Ravaryn at Kestramore, dalawang haring nagpatayan dahil sa poot ang nag-iwan ng pamana sa kanilang mga anak-mga prinsipe na may dalang kapangyarihan ng hangin, lupa, tubig, at apoy. Kasama sa kanilang kapalaran ang Prinsipe ng Firesse-isang kahariang nabura sa mapa ng mundo. Ulila at walang nasasakupan, ngunit pinili ng Bathala upang maging ikaapat na haligi ng kapalaran. Ngunit sa likod ng kanilang lakas, nakatali ang isang sumpa. Kapag ang kanilang galit ay umapaw, lilitaw ang wangis ng halimaw-isang nakakatakot na anyo na maaaring pumatay ng inosente. Isang sumpa na maaari ring maging biyaya: dahil sa oras na makita sila sa anyong ito, kapalaran na ng kanilang kalaban ang kamatayan. Ngayon, ang apat na babae ay naging bahagi ng kwento ng mga prinsipe. Ang akala nila'y sila ang sumusulat ng kanilang kapalaran sa loob ng libro-ngunit ang totoo, sila mismo ang isinulat. At sa dulo ng lahat... kailangan nilang pumili: Babalik ba sila sa sariling mundo? O haharapin nila ang katotohanang maaaring sila ang susi upang iligtas-o tuluyang wasakin-ang mundong ginising nila?

Her fists never missed, her confidence never faltered, and her heart burned with fire and pride. But fate has its cruel sense of irony. One night, fresh from victory, Khaya's life took an unexpected turn. On her way home, she saw a little boy crying on the side of the street. His toy had gotten stuck in the branches of a tall tree. Reckless but kind-hearted as always, Khaya didn't hesitate... she climbed up to help him. She never realized it would be the last decision she'd ever make... She suddenly fell from the tall tree. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in the world she knew. she was lying in a silk canopy bed, her body weak and fragile. Her pale skin, silver hair, and soft blue eyes belonged to the Silver Duchess, a woman famed across the Empire not for her power, but for her delicate fragility. A duchess unloved by her husband, and despised by those who envied her beauty. A woman who was seen as nothing but decoration-powerless and disposable. But Khaya Montellan was never powerless. In a world where strength is measured by titles and bloodlines, she will show them the strength of a fighter's soul. With fire in her veins and fury in her heart, the once-undefeated boxer will rise again... not in the ring, but in the grand halls of the nobility. She'll challenge the Duke who cast her aside. She'll crush those who look down on her. And maybe... just maybe, she'll uncover the mystery behind this strange new life, and the reason fate brought The Storm into the fragile body of the Silver Duchess. Will Khaya ever find her way back home? Or will she discover that this world-one filled with danger, secrets, and unexpected love-is where she truly belongs?
