    War is outlawed. The great houses now challenge for territories by putting forward their best champions, known as Chimeras, to compete in the brutal Quintail tournament. Bonded to a soul of an animal early in life, Chimeras harness the creature's attributes to make them faster, stronger and more agile than any other human. And to the lucky few, they're gifted with some extraordinary abilities.
        
        Raide is a prisoner with stolen memories. With the aid of Wisp, a voice that only a few can hear, he embarks on a journey to unravel the plot that has had him prisoned for murder, leading him into the Quintail and to the heart of the corruption that surrounds the reclusive creators of the tournament - the Sisters of Ember.
