In the glittering elven kingdom where "peace" hides a brutal purge, the dark elves are hunted and massacred by their own light-elf kin. Dinerúth, chieftess of the dark elves, narrowly escapes death and is rescued by Gustav, King of Orcsen--a nation of united magical races led by so-called "savage" orcs. Swearing a blood oath to the orc king, Dinerúth seeks vengeance for her fallen people. Their unlikely alliance will shatter old beliefs and alter the course of history itself.
