As the final sovereign of a divine winged race, Lyra pours her mystical lifeblood into saving three cursed royal brothers from rotting corruption. Instead of gratitude, the princes fall prey to a treacherous noblewoman's deceit, severing Lyra's gossamer wings and banishing her into the desolate outer wastes to die forgotten.
When their deceitful darling fails to sustain the kingdom's warding barriers, the princes watch their ancestral realm crumble as an ancient petrifying plague resurfaces. With their bodies steadily calcifying, the arrogant heirs crawl through ash to beg for salvation, completely unaware that their discarded savior has already renounced their dying throne forever.
