Everything has a spirit: the willow tree with leaves that kiss the
pond, the stream that feeds the river, the wind that exhales fresh
snow...
But the spirits that reside within this land want to rid it of all
humans. One woman stands between these malevolent spirits and the end of
humankind: the queen. She alone has the magical power to prevent the
spirits from destroying every man, woman, and child. But queens are
still only human, and no matter how strong or good they are, the threat
of danger always looms.
Because the queen's position is so precarious, young women are specially
chosen to train as her heirs. Daleina, a seemingly quiet academy
student, simply wants to right the wrongs that have befallen the land.
Meanwhile, the disgraced champion Ven has spent his exile secretly
fighting against the growing number of spirit attacks. When Daleina and
Ven join forces, they embark on a treacherous quest to find the source
of the spirits' restlessness--a journey that will force them to stand
against both enemies and friends to save their land...before it's bathed
in blood.
