Kingdom of Arie

Separated from her knight, Princess Theia is locked away in a castle snowed in by winter's frost. Her only companion, Prince Edmund of Euken, attempts to make her feel comfortable. Though his efforts are noble, his past will create present day problems that his guest can't ignore. Pushed together by the legacies of their parents, will prince and princess fall for each other like a fairy tale dream or will Princess Theia risk her life to escape her prison?

Meanwhile, still trapped within the Vaien-infiltrated Kingdom of Arie, Commander Eassen fights to regain control of Lavania Castle. At the same time he struggles with the entity in his head now taking control of his physical body at a whim. The Ba-Rei warrior longs to be with his Syn-ka, his charge, but he's a threat to her so long as the ghost within him is stronger. How far will Theia's knight in shining armor go to free himself of his specter's influence and what will remain once he does?
