Young Rosalin Cotare flees her home to get to the magic-free safety of the Mortal Realm. Five years later, she and her friends encounter a portal that takes them back to her home. Soon after her arrival, the girl now known as Alura finds out that she is at the centre of the prophecy that she heard about her entire childhood. Soon wrapped in a mist of politics and romance, Alura must find a way to break the curse and free her people. She knows what to do, but it would mean sacrificing her freedom to marry a man she hardly knows. Could she be selfless enough to make that choice? Do the Three Kingdoms even want the curse broken? For 18 years, their borders have been protected by a magic that traps anyone who enters one of the kingdoms, but with a broken curse and fragile economy, the Three Kingdoms are susceptible to attack. Will their eastern allies on Githor be their primary threat, or will other players come into the game?
