15 parts Ongoing Althea Medarda's life was forged in the flames of war, abandoned amidst the wreckage and taken in by the fierce Ambessa Medarda. Trapped under the weight of her mother's ruthless expectations, Althea's struggle to find herself led her to Piltover-exiled, distant, and alone.
There, she met Ekko, a boy from the forgotten depths of Zaun. What began as a simple connection soon blossomed into a bond that neither time nor circumstance could shatter.
Together, they dreamed of a world where their homes could coexist, defying the divides that separated them. But one night-one single, devastating moment-ripped them apart, leaving Althea shattered and lost. The bond they shared, once unbreakable, now felt like a distant, unreachable dream.
Now, caught between the harsh reality of survival and the ideals they once shared, Althea and Ekko must face the truth. The war that tore them apart is only the beginning.
As enemies, as strangers to each other, they'll be forced to confront the devastating cost of loyalty, love, and the unyielding desire to protect what's left of their fractured hearts. Can they ever bridge the distance between them, or has their bond already been destroyed beyond repair?
