THE FATE OF AN EMPIRE LIES IN THE BALANCE.

The seal is breaking. Vengeful creatures known as the akbarrin emerge from the Shadows to punish humanity by order of an ancient, unhinged enemy.

Bound by a bloodline oath to protect the princess of Beldemar, Aryam Sinanan has spent her life training for this moment.

Except...she never truly saw it coming.

The empire of Beldemar has been safe from the akbarrin for centuries. Why should Aryam sacrifice her youth and happiness for such an unlikely calling? Why should she live and die in service and solitude like the generations of guardians before her?

Surely, it wouldn't matter if she missed a few workouts here and there.

When the akbarrin assassinate the king, when the threat of war crashes into her life, Aryam leaves everything she loves behind and joins her sister guardians to fight with their spirit weapons.

The problem is Aryam doesn't have one.
