For five hundred years, my people and I have been locked on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean because of my mother's cruel magic.

Although I dreamed of escaping our prison, I never imagined a day would come when I could.

But that day came, and with it, a destiny that bound me to a winged beast of a man.

A Crow.

My Crow.
