"We are the divine violence."
In the fantasy kingdom of Eldom terror has struck. The royal family has been the target of a series of attempted and successful assassinations. Crown Prince Amir has been killed in cold blood by the group known as ECL, Eldom's Common Liberators. Now, the children of the crown have come back to fight for their lives. Royal Warriors. 5 of them, all shaken from the death of their elder brother. For the ECL assassins, the death of the Crown Prince was a celebrated success. Now, they must take on the Royal Warriors to finally free their kingdom from the hands of the Erickson Family, the current royal family.
The Powers. Otherwise known as the highborns are the people born with special abilities. The Powers are staples of the upper class, born into luxury and prestige. If a Power was born among the lesserborns, they'd be taken, and promptly raised and trained by the upper class, never to return to their old lives or families. The Crown believe they can find all of the Lesser Powers, but some slip right through their fingers.

To save her only remaining sibling's life and to bring justice to her late parents, she agrees to marry the woman she despises so much and one would think it would be easy ..given the fact that the whole kingdom knows that the Empress is in love with the Outcast ..but no. As Nana enters the palace she receives the worst kind of hatred and wickedness from everyone but mostly, her wife's mother, brother and sister.
The scary part is they want her dead and accuses her of being the reason the Empress committed an abomination.
