In Lumidia, one of the few kingdoms that refused to submit to the Crimson Flame Empire, the populace is ruled with a merciless hand. During a time of escalating rebellions, Elysia, the youngest heir to the kingdom, discovers her powers-rare and perilous abilities feared above all else.

Condemned to die, Elysia flees to the underbelly of her kingdom, finding refuge among the oppressed common folk-and within a group of rebels.
Betrayed not only by her family but also by those she once called friends, Elysia faces a harrowing choice: should she yield to the darkness of her newfound powers and become the villain of the tale? Or will she defy all odds to become the hero she has always aspired to be?
