Oraia was once a land teeming with nature and goodness-a land so beautiful, people would dare to take the dangerous journey across the waters just to see it. Magic was alive and well, and peace was all its kingdoms knew.
But then the curse fell, and sorcerers conspiring with demons took control, and an unspeakable evil began to slowly consume everything to the point of no return. Plants and animals died, and almost all of the good magic within Oraia was tainted. Only those who remained in the mountains, in the kingdom of Southspell, were untouched by the curse, but once the sorcerers caught word of such things, they burned the kingdom to the ground and killed every living soul in sight.
Thousands of years later, the existence of Southspell has been wiped from history and only a chosen few know that the magic they wield is dark. Dark magic seems to have dominated everything, but good magic is still holding on and it will fight to survive until the very end.
In every generation following the fall of the curse, there has been one who transcends-a child born to a family of dark magic who was chosen to wield good magic and live for the purpose of finding a way to lift the curse from the land. This generation's Transcendent is a girl by the name of Eris Silverwood, and she not only could be the last of her kind, but she holds the fate of the world in her hands.
