For a decade Elvira adored the knight Rayne, yet her sister Ophelia took the glory for rescuing him, and Rayne grew neglectful. Seeing him fixated on Ophelia, Elvira walks away, ends the engagement and weds Cassius, a dragon-blooded tycoon who is the richest man in the realm. Cassius has quietly guarded her for years and now declares her his before everyone in a dragon ritual. Rayne eventually discovers the truth and finds Ophelia with Morlock, a priest of the Dark God.
Rayne uncovers her lie and cuts himself as penance, but his remorse arrives far too late. Cassius traps Morlock, and the priest's crimes come to light and he faces judgment. The night before the ceremony, Ophelia attempts to run Elvira down, Rayne throws himself in the way, loses his legs, and Ophelia meets her end. From his wheelchair Rayne watches Elvira marry Cassius, paying for his mistakes while she finds lasting joy.
