In a world where power is everything and cruelty is currency, a girl with nothing is forced to make choices with consequences that not even Fate can escape.

All I've ever done is dream of a way out.
From this town that bleeds anyone stupid enough to reach for the last blooms of hope withering on the vine.
From the dead-end future that stalks behind every corner, waiting for me in the shadows.
But no matter how hard I try, it won't let me go.
Until one night, Fate gives me a choice. And I make a promise.
It's my fault for believing that choice was anything other than a curse.

Unlike the demons of my upbringing, the ones in this place don't lurk in the dark. They hide behind polite smiles and pretty words, waiting for me to blink. My naiveté is blood in the water to these Legacies built on bones and suffering.

So I do what I've always done: watch and learn. Learn and adapt. Adapt and survive. But when survival hinges on playing their games, my defiance is my doom:
I touch the untouchable Heir of House Ignis.
I scorn the Leviathan of House Aquae.
I defy the sentinel of House Aeris.
I deny the beast of House Terra.
I taunt the dragon prince.
I incite the arrogant vampire.

When the bill for my sins against the hierarchy of power comes due, the price nearly kills me. That is, until this ravenous, writhing... hunger... in my veins wakes with an insatiable thirst.

In a single moment, the balance tips.
The game is set.
The threads of Fate are spun.
And there's no way out.
