Selena Yingyue Zhao, daughter of the late Zhao Bohai, does not want any part of what she thinks her father has planned for her. All her life she had fought for her own legacy, biding her time and following the rules in the hopes that one day she might leave her godforsaken surname behind in favour of the freedom she had been denied. However, Yingyue quickly learns that taking the reins of a predetermined fate and steering it off course is not as easy as she first thought it to be.

In the world of Luminora, where magic, blades, and technology intertwine in unseen ways, a boy with black hair moves silently, his stillness hiding more than it shows.

She walks just beyond reach, drawn toward a reality she wishes was real, almost tangible in the distance, yet always out of grasp. Their paths cross, tangled in ways neither understands, as the boundaries between light and dark blur, and the world around them shifts with an unspoken purpose. What lies beneath their actions, their pasts, and the world they navigate remains elusive, leaving only whispers of something greater that waits just beyond their reach.

Alticia, a 120-year-old high elf with the grace of a swan (that keeps tripping over its own feet), has one dream: to become a legendary bard who inspires the world with her songs. There’s just one small problem. Her singing is so catastrophically bad that even goblins cover their ears, birds fall from the sky, and the village elder pretends to be hard of hearing. Armed with a handmade staff, an unwavering (and completely misplaced) confidence, and a repertoire of songs that can make plants wither, Alticia sets off to save her village from a goblin invasion. Her plan? Sing them into submission. Join Alticia on a hilariously disastrous journey through a medieval fantasy world where she battles monsters, gets lost in the woods, and somehow—somehow—keeps surviving her own mistakes. Because when you can’t fight, run, or think straight, you just have to sing your way through life. Off-key, of course. Can Alticia turn her "unique" talents into something great, or will her journey be a symphony of chaos?
