Synopsis

Once a hidden gem of royalty, THESRA, the princess of YHÀKADÉI who slipped away from the palace in her infancy, finds herself drawn back to its opulent halls years later, following the enigmatic murder of her mother with the dreaded sword, iheassai—a mere scratch from which spells certain death, no cure in sight. Thesra's return is only sanctioned once the shaman deems it safe, shrouded in mystery as always.Caught in the whirlwind of palace life anew, Thesra grapples with an existence she's long been estranged from, her heart brimming with resentment toward her father. Amidst the palace intrigues, she finds solace and trust in just one soul: the cunning yet loyal Chief of Defense, her uncle Zagaroth.As fate would have it, the king decrees a grand tournament to select a protector for his daughter, only to defy convention by choosing not one, but four guardians who will redefine Thesra's destiny: Joz, Parele, Moheazttha, and Josephus Noa—the latter carrying the weight of his father's betrayal, yet harboring secrets of his own, buried beneath layers of deception.Bound by circumstance and fate, the princess forms an unbreakable bond with her newfound protectors, ushering in a fleeting era of joy and companionship within the palace walls, until tragedy, as inevitable as the rising sun, casts its shadow over their lives.In the wake of a successful coup orchestrated by the nefarious Zagaroth, the kingdom is plunged into chaos, and Thesra, heart heavy with sorrow, flees into the shadows of exile with her loyal comrades, paying a steep price for their escape—a dear one's sacrifice. Seekers of sanctuary, they find refuge in the care of Bhabu, Josephus's steadfast guardian, while Zagaroth, consumed by vengeance, hunts for Thesra's head, unaware of the unwitting aid he receives from Parele, who unknowingly guides him toward his quarry.Embark on a mesmerizing odyssey through realms of magic, intrigue, and unwavering friendship, as the tapestry of destiny unravels.
