Long ago, in a kingdom lost to time, a desperate king made a terrible bargain. He forged a deck of magical cards, each imbued with a fragment of his own essence—his wisdom, his strength, his memories, even his heart. In exchange, he gained unimaginable power. But magic always demands a price.When the last card was drawn, the king was no longer a man but an empty shell, and his kingdom was swallowed by a dense, unrelenting mist. The cards were scattered, hidden, stolen, lost to the ages. The kingdom faded from history, its people cursed to wander blindly in the fog, waiting for salvation.Centuries later, a girl is born with magic in her veins—the first in generations. Whispers of prophecy surround her: she alone can lift the mist. But to do so, she must track down the lost cards, each one holding a piece of the king’s sacrifice. Some are buried in forgotten ruins. Some are guarded by creatures of legend. And some… some are held by those who would rather see the kingdom remain in darkness.With only a single card to her name and the mist closing in, she embarks on a journey that will test her soul. Because power never comes without a cost—and neither does the truth.
