Description

In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, a young war orphan named Rin discovers her untapped potential and the haunting legacy of a country steeped in conflict. As she navigates the rigorous demands of a prestigious military academy, she grapples with her identity and the scars left by a ravaged past. The struggle for survival becomes tangible as she faces not only the adversities of her fellow cadets but also the ghosts of her history, pushing her to unleash powers she never knew she possessed.

Rin's journey reveals the harsh realities of war and the moral complexities that accompany it. As she is drawn deeper into a web of political intrigue and school rivalries, the echoes of a brutal war loom over her, forcing her to confront both personal and collective trauma. The lines between friend and foe blur, revealing the cost of power and loyalty in a world where sacrifice is inevitable.

Richly layered with themes of resilience, identity, and the impact of history, this tale invites readers to reflect on the cost of conflict and the healing power of understanding. It challenges the notion of heroism and villainy, painting a landscape where every choice reverberates through generations, ultimately questioning what it truly means to fight for one’s homeland.
