"You're nothing but the offspring of an evil god. Our allied armies have decided to wipe you out!"
Without the approval of the temples of the benevolent gods, the royal family of the Kingdom of Netherrise was branded with fabricated crimes by the allied armies, based solely on rumors and history.
As the youngest daughter of the Imperius royal family, Maginus Imperius watched helplessly as her home was destroyed and her family scattered in flight. Before she could even grieve, she was betrayed by the person she trusted most and died in a tomb passage, believing she had escaped with her life.
Anger, resentment, sorrow... murderous intent, fear, brutality...
When the girl awoke again in the passage, she discovered that, somehow, she had exchanged her magical power and knowledge of magic for the chance to live. Even so, coming back from the dead was enough to make her weep with joy.
But the girl did not know that, for someone whose country and family had been destroyed, her misfortune was far from over. Her only surviving brother died before her eyes. The bodies of her parents, brothers, and sisters were hung from the city walls. She scraped by like a rat in the sewers...
In this age of utter chaos, the girl who had fallen from the clouds to the depths could only take up her sword and forge a road of blood and fire for herself. At its end lay eternal glory!
