Phaedra is the younger sister of the Chosen One, Demeter, who was called upon by the prophecy machine to save the world from the necromancer Aurelius. Phaedra is one of Temple’s best frontline magi and works side by side with her engineer friend, Eldren, until Aurelius learns about both Demeter and the prophecy machine. When Temple deploys Phaedra to protect her sister from Aurelius, the necromancer’s nightmarish lieutenants show no mercy and the two are killed. Eldren is forced to flee with the others, abandoning his closest friend. But death is not so simple. Phaedra and Demeter wind up resurrected to serve in Aurelius’s undead army. Meanwhile, Eldren survives, but vows to find the sisters on the slim chance they remain among the living. As Eldren desperately searches for a trace of the sisters, Phaedra is determined to do the impossible: become the first to ever defect from Aurelius’s army.
