Lio Aetos is a young aristocrat and heir apparent to a legendary sect, a prodigious talent born and bred for glory.

Solus is a slave, a lost patrician from the fallen city of Rome with nothing to his name.

On all sides, dark forces gather. A demon horde sweeps across the West, leaving nothing but salt and ash in its wake. In the great city of Olympia, Tyrants fight under an empty throne, waging war beneath The Storm That Never Ceases. Deadly assassins and immortal cultivators hide in the shadows.

To stand against the Tyrants, against the Heavens, is madness. Certain death awaits.

Yet – the path to power is one wrought with ruinous tribulation.

Lio and Solus accept the challenge.

The only one without the ability to cultivate aeon from the world, Raysha has been ostracized her whole life for her weakness. In a world where true masters of aeon have slaughtered gods, Raysha's future in her village is limited to babysitting pre-Awakened children.

Desperate for a chance to prove her worth, she leaps at the chance to join her brother at the Academy, where he believes they can find a cure for her soul. It will only take the crystalised heart of an ancient spirit, lost to the world thousands of years ago.

Armed with an enchanted water bottle and a stubborn attitude, Raysha sets out to prove that she is more than just a second-rate outcast.
