Aveline Crystaine, was once the shining star of House Crystaine, a prestigious family known for its unmatched magical lineage. The Crystaines were revered as one of the Great Houses of the kingdom, capable of wielding ancient and powerful magic passed down through generations. Aveline was the heir to that legacy, a woman of extraordinary talent and potential. But everything changed when Aveline’s family was wiped out overnight in a mysterious tragedy.
