Don't you dare pretend that you are some small, fragile, pathetic little girl. I can feel that vicious mind working through the stone.
For 468 years, the races of Ethake's realm had lived silently among humans. The Royal House of Ethake ensured peace was maintained between all magical and underworldly creatures, hidden from human knowledge. For the past 200 years, the Sapphirum, the highest family of the Sapphire race, had ruled as the monarchy. The Castle of Plains, home to the royals and the army, stood at the center of Ethake, where it had existed since the dawn of recorded history. At the heart of the plains lay the Sanctuary.
Princess Ayla, in her 19th year, faced a significant milestone: this year, she would be marked by her magic. When something goes terribly wrong during the annual marking ceremony at the Sanctuary, Ayla can't help but suspect it might be linked to the strange creature that cornered her in the forest the night before, whispering prophecies of a new, powerful darkness and the devastating death that would follow.
Ordered by her father to stay out of the Sanctuary's investigation into the incident, Ayla enlists her friends and new classmates to start their own inquiry. When the Sanctuary is attacked by a deadly smoke and demons from the Realm of Darkness, the army general imposes a lock-down on the main city of Ethake.
As the foretold fates become more real each day and everything they thought they knew about magic is called into question, Ayla and her band of magical mischief's must confront the darkness threatening to change Ethake forever. But can Ayla survive the darkness within herself, the darkness that calls to her?
