Alice grew up as a hunter's daughter, unaware she is the missing heir of the Nat family and the only person who can carry the Divine Fire. When she returns home, her cousin's replacement, Kelly, has already claimed her room, her name, and her inheritance.
Kelly frames her at every turn, but Alice keeps surviving in ways no one expects. At a banquet auction she spends her money on Wright, a man everyone dismisses as powerless, not knowing he is the Wood God. Together they dig into a royal conspiracy and the massacre that destroyed his family. Alice has to reach the tenth level and hatch a fire dragon before the Frozen Continent's curse consumes everyone, including the family that never believed her.
