Everything begins to fall apart the day that Dacio is arrested for a crime that they couldn't possibly have committed-the attempted murder of the emperor of Wei.

With the help of Dacio's mysterious friend, Esme embarks on a quest to prove Dacio's innocence. However, things are not as they seem, for ominous and powerful beings lurk in the shadows. As she begins to piece together the mystery of her past, she stumbles upon a sinister plan that threatens the fate of the mortal realm.
