Twenty years ago, the Kingdom of Leona burned a woman alive for practicing magic. They did not know she was the wife of Vaelith, the ancient monster who ruled the northern mountains. In his grief, he unleashed horrors upon the land, creating creatures that drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Cities fell, kingdoms crumbled, and an entire generation grew up beneath the shadow of the Mourning. With no armies left capable of stopping him, four desperate survivors commit the one act even the last remaining settlements would condemn. They resurrect the woman whose death started it all. Torn from death and placed into an unfamiliar body, Y/N awakens to a world she no longer recognizes—a world where she has become the last hope of the people who once burned her alive.
