Amra Venric came from nothing and was set to die with nothing before she agreed to fight a war in exchange for a bed and guaranteed meal. She returns five years later a renowned hero to her Kingdom after quickly climbing the ranks with her previously undiscovered mana affinity. King Elas rewards her by assigning her as the personal guard to Prince Haldir. Oddly enough, life in the palace is somehow harder to adjust to than war. Being surrounded by people who either worship the ground she walks on or flee at the sight of her, Amra is restless. Until Prince Haldir's betrothed arrives to the castle accompanied by someone who makes her feel alive again. Erzi Crozo has not left the dark forest in years, he knows leaving only leads to pain and regret. Nothing is worth risking that, until his mother does something he never expected her to do. She made an alliance with the same outsiders that chased them into the forest all those centuries ago. An alliance that not only thrusted their people into a war they didn't start, but will take his sister from the safety of the forest to marry the future King of an outside kingdom. He will not let someone else he loves die by an outsider's filthy hand again. Even though he has only helped his clan as a hunter he convinced his mother to allow him to be the one to ensure his sister's safety outside the forest. To everyone's surprise she let's him. And despite what everyone thinks he will not be one to make the first move in breaking this tenuous alliance with the outsider's. What he will do is protect his sister by any means necessary. That is if he can keep himself from getting distracted by Prince Haldir's personal guard, hero of the war, Captain Amra Venric.
