After finding the book, Minjeong returns to Winterland with her reign in mind, but the worry of what Jimin is slowly becoming terrifies her. Joohyun seeks shelter in Dimland, slowly going crazy over Seungwan's death, and Seulgi will have to save her from her dark path. The war is far from over, now that Minjeong holds the knowledge to kill everyone, but a new enemy looms at the corner, trying to take advantage of the broken nation. 

Bae Joohyun has it all: beauty, money, and power. She's the most powerful being of The Quadlans and she's soon to rise to the imperial throne. Son Seungwan has nothing: she lives in the poorest level of The Ruins, and she's part of a terrorist group called The Monolith. There shouldn't be any way for them to cross paths, but destiny always has other plans. Will the princess and the rebel fulfill their fate to save the kingdom, or will they die trying?
