Do we control our fate? Or does fate control us?

A cursed princess, a secondary heiress, and an amnesiac guard, In the Empire of Vasyla the balance hangs on a thin thread as Emperor Oryon's reign is nearing its end. The royal scions must soon face each other in the bloody battle for the throne. As the challenge nears and strange things begin occurring in the empire, the people's fate may lie in the hands of its three misfits. Yet none of these three even control their fate - let alone the fate of their country.

Calypso Pallas. A princess assumed to be cursed, doomed to bring about the end of the country for being born under the same star as a long-dead scion. Ophelya Nephus. A second heiress, living in the shadows of her sister forced to fit in the box fate has pushed her towards. Leandre Elias. A royal guard, with no memories of his past struggles to make his way forward and protect those close to him - and even himself from his slowly recovering history.

Will these three be able to twist fate and make their own choices in their lives for their empire? Or is fate absolute - and the empire destined to fall?
