Riviera rules the four river realms, leading an alliance that has kept peace for generations. It is known for the strongest magic - Light Magic. Vuris wields the power of the sun, Verlaria commands the air, and Rumera rules the earth. Beyond them lie Fulistania and Karonite, realms long ambitious but never strong enough to conquer the alliance.
In Vuris, Queen Kavinie once ruled with her consort Bullie. They had three daughters: Helena, Sorena, and Bala, who died at birth along with her mother. Helena, seventeen, is set to inherit the throne at eighteen, while Bullie rules temporarily. Opposed to female rule, Bullie sees Kavinie's death as an opportunity to reshape the world.
He allies with Fulistania, imprisoning his daughters and arranging a marriage with Eronika, daughter of King Fulan, to secure their combined power. Together, they invade Verlaria, scattering its people and subjugating its magical beings.
Queen Julis of Riviera travels to Rumera to warn the kingdom, but she is too late. Within months, Rumera falls. King Pal protects Riviera with the Magical Council, casting a powerful veil over the kingdom. When the invaders arrive, they find nothing - a barrier of pure light drives them back.
Five years later, Vuris and Fulistania rule the fallen realms. Riviera remains hidden, Julis is still missing, and the world beyond has changed. Now, as Edith approaches her eighteenth birthday, she must ascend the throne - inheriting a realm concealed, but a world on the edge of collapse.
