The kingdom of Lorhaine is dying from within. Betrayed by his own king on his deathbed, stripped of his crown in favor of an invader, the rightful heir is now nothing but a humiliated prince on the run, unable even to awaken the power that runs in his blood. Then a village burns. And from the ashes, a nameless shepherd girl rises, carrying a flame born of grief alone, without a master, without lineage, without a single day of training, and already more formidable than knights who have devoted their whole lives to it. Together, they must turn a broken kingdom into a legend. But in a world where blood decides who has the right to rule, a power without lineage is never tolerated for long, not even by those it has saved. A war of thrones. A flame that swears loyalty to no one. And a question that will haunt every page: how long can a nameless power survive against those who hold the blood?
