 * Follows a young woman (16), Adira Skymae, as she navigates magic and the unknown continent of Nainen. Adira arrived on Nainen seven years ago, as a nine year-old girl, under the care of her aging grandmother. When her grandmother dies her world is thrown into chaos. With the threat of Uros still lurking in the background and being truly alone for the first time in her life, Adira has no idea what to do next. All she knows is that she doesn’t want to waste her life sitting around Zaloha doing nothing. The only reason she stayed in the first place was for her grandmother. Now that her grandmother is gone she is free, for the first time in her life, to do what she wants. When an opportunity is presented to her to join the Collectors, a group of people devoted to rescuing as many women from Uros as they can, she takes it. Follow as she explores new places, meets new people, makes enemies and learns what she is truly capable of.
 * The Hero


 * Adira Skymae is a sixteen year-old girl who has the true horrors the world has to offer. She had always been close to her family which made the death of her parents and older sister in the Volura Hunts on Uros all the more tragic. She managed to escape with her grandmother, Tallis Ethelind, to Nainen as a nine year old. While she has seen and lived through much she is still constantly hounded by a desire to do, to act. She simply wasn’t made to sit still. When her grandmother dies, seven years after settling on Nainen in the initial settlement Zaloha, Adira’s fragile peace is broken, but at the same time a world of opportunities opens up to her.
 * The Physical Goal


 * Adira has the need to prove herself, to prove she is capable and able to perform whatever is asked of her. She needs to save others as she was once saved.
 * The Emotional Goal


 * Adira’s emotional need is to get rid of her crushing loneliness and find new people who care.
 * Personal Obstacle


 * Adira’s fatal flaw is that she jumps in without thinking of the consequences. She acts first, often without thinking. She is headstrong and stubborn with an inability to admit she was wrong.
 * The Villain


 * The big overreaching bad guy the leader of Uros, Lord Mavak.
 * The smaller more close to home villian of the story is, Lorelai. Also known as Tanthro Lorelai. She is an instructor within the Collector group, she helps train the new recruits for their future missions to Uros. While the group is focused on rescuing women from Uros, Lorelai has established a small faction of her own who don’t just rescue women, but kill, torture and murder the men on Uros, even some on Nainen, in revenge of the atrocities committed on her during the Volura Hunts. 
 * Justification


 * Lorelai believes she is in the right because of the atrocities the men did to her, her family and all the other Volura on Uros. She believes that all men are innately violent against women and should be killed or subjugated for the purpose of the continuation of humanity.
