Synopsis:

The world exists in a stark dichotomy: the ethereal Kingdom of White, a realm of floating islands governed by Queen Iris, and the shadowed Kingdom of Black, a desolate land ruled by the King of Darkness. A growing darkness threatens to disrupt this fragile balance, demanding action from both realms. In the Kingdom of Black, a young boy survives the destruction of his village, finding an unexpected mentor in the enigmatic Skeer. Before passing, Skeer designates the boy as his heir, tasking him with becoming the Prince of Darkness – a figure destined to challenge the established order and restore equilibrium.

The story follows the parallel journeys of Iris and the Prince of Darkness as they navigate escalating threats to their respective kingdoms. Their paths are set to intersect, raising questions about duty, power, and whether an alliance between light and shadow is the only way to avert global catastrophe. The narrative explores themes of legacy, redemption, and the complexities of leadership in a world teetering on the brink.
