Summary
Several turns after the disappearance of the High
Queen’s successor, rumors of a plague spread across the
Empire of Mu. Two parties, the Rebellion and the Council,
clash over the strange phenomenon and its source, the
Tainted. Cruentus Fate, a young Royal from the second kingdom of
Mu, becomes entangled in the battle for the Capital as she
and her brother, Abyssus, seek out the truth about their
relationship with the enigmatic Grim. Her life turns upside
down when she’s separated from her brother and sold to
the brothel by their father, the King of Macellarius. The
brothel’s Madam, Fortuna, takes Fate under her wing and
broadens her knowledge of the Empire, the war at hand, and
the secret behind her existence. With her new understanding, Fate sets out to restore
balance to the Empire, and to recover her brother from their
father’s clutches. First, she must rally the support of
the unstable prince of the neighboring kingdom. Around every bend lies another dark secret about the world
she lives in, and the more she uncovers, the more entangled
she becomes in the web of lies her family has spun.
