GAME OF THRONES meets ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
Two queens. Two worlds. One war impending.
In a realm perpetually Light, a portal to the world's mirror land hides from Mankind. Lycoris of Zelal, the Queen Regent's Assassin, knows the stories. He always believed they were a lie. He's about to find out for certain.
The Regent wants full control, even at the expense of her son, who has yet to ascend the throne. Lycoris is given the mission to find the portal and get to its other side and retrieve the Regent's sister, in the hope that the Regent won't lose her reign. He must leave his future bride and wander into lands unknown, not knowing if he will live or die. In doing so, perhaps the Regent will gain the glory she desires.
The queen's sister isn't what she seems to be, and neither are the inhabitants of the mirroring land. Lycoris fears that all he bypassed as night-time tales is true. Who are the Ancients, and what will happen to him and the two realms should they arrive?
He hopes never to find out. Time is ticking. The second gate is waiting to open, with fiendish powers and monstrous things fighting him along the way.
War is coming. Goddess forbid the two queens should have their whims obliged. Light unto darkness, and darkness unto light...for what is mortal man against a force as old as humanity?
