Vera and Iris are twin sisters. They grew up on a small farm at the edge of an even smaller village , they were taken in by the farmer Henry and his wife Celeste when they were babies. Henry and Celeste claimed to have no idea about who their birth parents were, they just said that one night the girls were left on their doorstep, in a basket with nothing except for their blanket, a woman's necklace, and a man's ring. Vera and Iris had always believed them, why would they lie anyway? But then Iris gets into trouble, Vera comes to her aid but in doing so, she unlocks some dormant power she was unaware she even had, a power that could be the death of them all. Now, the twins are in danger, Celeste is packing bags, and Henry is sitting them down to tell them the truth. Their parents were royalty, their father was killed, and their mother, having kept their birth a secret, brought them to the farm to keep them safe, but now someone knows about them, someone who would love nothing more than to see them dead and the girls are forced to come out of hiding to reunite with their long-lost mother and fulfill the prophecy she'd worked so hard to prevent. Their paths are laid before them, but what lies ahead could mean the end of everything.
