Sacred songstress Eloise expends half of her spiritual lifespan to cure Elf Prince Kael from a fatal wound, entering a royal union only to face eight agonizing years of emotional abandonment. While Kael lavishes celestial treasures and royal honors upon another maiden, Eloise suffers alone in drafty palace chambers as her magic deteriorates.
Reaching her breaking point, Eloise invokes ancient law to annul the betrothal contract, leaving the elven sanctuary to reclaim her high seat within the sacred Chantry. Supported by a devoted senior mentor, she regains her divine vocal magic, leaving an unhinged Kael to realize the catastrophic cost of his pride.
