_________________

During the 1920s, while escaping from his once-idyllic hamlet in rural India, Neil loses the only person who mattered to him. Rescued by a hunter, he molds himself into one of the best warriors of Cascadia. Impressed, the queen gives him a direct order to kill a traitor to the kingdom; the crowned prince, Dove. As a reward, he is offered a potion which was a way to bring back his lover from the dead.

Despite being the sole heir, Dove has been relegated to the role of a servant by his stepmother. Neil could not bring himself to complete the task when their paths cross. So, they join forces facing challenging quests to collect seven items required to make the potion.

The only catch? They need to do so before the last shard of the mystical glass painting falls as the potion would then expire.
As the clock ticks, Neil is left to make a choice. Will he betray the young prince and become the hero of the kingdom or try to complete an impossible task with the risk of facing a lifetime of cruelty in the dungeons?
