Humanity is reaching its breaking point, and something must be done. Four long years have passed since Constance Neethe, the heir to the throne of Men, nearly got her friends and herself killed because of her debilitating drug addiction. Since then, the young princess sought solitude from the growing insurrection headed by her Curae counterpart, Prince Ewan Inathius, heir to the throne of the immortal Curae race. But the time of hiding and preparing is drawing to a close. As the evil King Ischis grows in power daily and finds new horrifying ways to torment the enslaved humans, Ewan and Constance's former guardian, the Cura Anastasia Terthsemane, form a plan to send Anastasia undercover into the heart of Ischis's realm so as to learn the power of the enemy. Moreover, the arrival of ghosts from the past force Constance to make a choice. Can she keep her eyes closed to the problems of the world forever? Or has the time finally come for her to embrace her role as Princess Constance Nicolette Neethe, ruler of Men?
