Ash is a scribe during the times leading up to the next Great Dying -- meant to observe and record the extraordinary happenings beforehand. Things like the raising of the most powerful phantom ever seen, a despot attempting to control all of the nine realms, and a new race of being stealing children into the sea. With all her training, being impassive and accurate should be natural, but when a handsome guide may lead her not only into love, but an incredible destiny.
