A woman on the run. A mysterious magical heritage.
Attacked by assassins and framed for treason, Rie finds herself mired in an ancient battle between the elven realms. Facing certain death at the hands of an unmerciful high elf king, she has no choice but to forsake her oaths and flee his wrath.
Fighting to prove her innocence, she must cross into the enemy Shadow Realm. Her only allies are the fierce carnivorous pixies who travel by her side.

Can Rie uncover the truth of her past before the high elf king takes her head?
