Synopsis
Keira, heir to water-goddess powers, faces Cosette's claim as true daughter and rightful elementalist.
In the prestigious House of Parvis, a rare gift runs through their bloodline—the power of an "elementalist," blessed by the goddess of water to protect the continent from demonic threats and bring life-giving rain to barren lands. Duke Ludwig Parvis has long believed that this extraordinary ability would manifest in his daughter Keira, who has spent her entire life training for this destiny while seeking her father's elusive approval. But when a mysterious girl named Cosette Weinberg arrives claiming to be the duke's true daughter and the rightful elementalist, Keira's world begins to shift. As questions arise about identity, legitimacy, and the nature of power itself, Keira must navigate a treacherous path where the bonds of family and the weight of destiny collide.
