The uprising killed the royal Cardinal family. The Cardinals were magic wielders and had ruled for over five hundred years with an iron fist. Eventually, the humans waged war against wielders and shifters. They overthrew the crown, branding all non-human beings as Unnaturals and leaving them to fend for themselves in a broken world.

When both their lives intertwine by fate, a new quest emerges fraught with danger as they encounter all walks of life trying to tear them apart.
