An empire ruled by power —
a girl claimed by the gods

When young Kitti’s village is destroyed in a sudden raid, she encounters the intimidating easterner Kai and his crew of talented mercenaries. Forced to travel with them across an empire still scarred by civil war, Kitti discovers she possesses affinity — a power granted by the gods that places her in the sights of the Great Houses, powerful nobles who serve directly under the royal family.

As a new emperor is crowned and rebellion stirs in the western regions, Kitti is forced to see the world in a new light. Drawn into political conspiracies, brutal survival, and dangerous alliances, she must survive a world where loyalty is fleeting and power decides everything.
