A new power is rising. And the world is not ready for it.

For generations, the city of Illuminae has flourished, its power rooted in magic drawn from the light itself. Those without? They adapted. They endured.

But as King Apostolos Letosia rules over an era of peace, unseen forces threaten to unravel it all.

Komiya has spent his life tinkering with scraps, stumbling upon a new source of magic, one that the powerless can finally wield, he unknowingly sets off a chain reaction that could shatter the balance of power forever.

At the same time, a ghostly threat emerges from the sea, forcing Apostolos' sister, Captain Artemisia Moonstrider, to hunt down answers before the past consumes them all. With her stowaway nephew, Nikas, the heir who willingly stepped down, by her side, they sail toward the unknown, demanding answers.

As power shifts beyond those born to wield it, the kingdom teeters on the brink of chaos. Some see a revolution. Others see disaster. And in the middle of it all, a simple question remains:

What happens when the powerless are given the power to burn it all down?
