In a land torn apart by darkness, Reika Maddock, known as the Phoenix of Aster, carries the weight of both her past and the future of a shattered world. Once a fierce bounty hunter with a fiery reputation, Reika is thrust into a battle far greater than her own survival when she becomes the protector of Eian-a young, gifted sorcerer destined to save their world from the clutches of Valda the Merciless.
As Reika, Eian, and their eclectic band of allies traverse dangerous lands and confront insurmountable odds, they must rely on courage, cunning, and each other to stand against the rising tide of Valda's tyranny. But the closer they draw to her fortress, the more the lines between loyalty, love, and sacrifice blur.
Tensions mount as Reika battles not only external enemies but also the ghosts of her past and her growing feelings for the steadfast blacksmith, Cassius. Her resolve will be tested, her bonds will be challenged, and her strength will be pushed to its limits.
With the fate of the Land of Flora hanging by a thread, can Reika rise from the ashes once more, or will Valda's darkness snuff out the last embers of hope?
