Deep within a cursed forest from which no traveler has ever returned lives a mysterious young woman who never seems to age.
Though she appears no older than eighteen, she has lived for centuries.
She is not immortal-she can be wounded, and she can die-but time itself seems to have forgotten her.
Years pass like days, and sometimes she falls asleep only to awaken decades, or even centuries, later.
One day, she rescues a starving and injured boy who remembers nothing of his past.
With no family to return to and nowhere else to go, he remains by her side.
Deep within the cursed forest, she raises him as her own, teaching him everything she knows about survival, history, magic, and the world beyond the trees.
As the years pass, the boy grows into a capable young man.
Then, after a sudden accident restores his lost memories, he discovers the truth-he is a prince whose kingdom was stolen from him.
Determined to reclaim his throne and avenge his fallen family, he asks for her blessing before leaving the forest.
She lets him go with a smile, certain they will meet again in a few years.
But for someone untouched by time, a few years can become centuries.
After falling into one of her mysterious slumbers, she awakens to find that more than two hundred years have passed.
The world she once knew has changed beyond recognition, and the boy she raised should have long since turned to dust.
Curious about what became of him, she ventures beyond the cursed forest for the first time in centuries.
Along the way, she uncovers a startling truth: the forgotten prince succeeded.
He became a legendary emperor whose name is etched into history, and his descendants still rule the vast empire he built.
Yet an even greater mystery awaits her.
For two hundred years, every emperor has upheld a single command passed down through the royal bloodline.
