But now she was a stable job: a script doctor and editor for some small YouTube channels. It wasn't much but it did enough for her to make her portion of rent every week. When her father's former best friend, from his high school days, DMs her, Mina's life starts to fall into utter chaos.

Now, with his friend seemingly gone, Tristan's beautiful daughter emerges as a candidate for his guilt.

They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE
