Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. An inexplicably magical, consciousness-infused bracelet wraps around her arm. Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the vast landscapes of Athia. He calls his new golden companion Frey "Cuff" and sets out in search of a way back. Frey soon learns that this beautiful land once flourished under the rule of good-natured matriarchs called the Tantes, until a devastating plague mercilessly corrupted everything it touched. "The Breakthrough" turned animals into beasts, humans into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous kingdoms. The Tanta, who once ruled these lands, now reign in their corrupt realms as mad and cruel witches.
