The Phoenix Peaks.
In the magical world of Pallos, Elaine can finally breathe for a moment after the horrors of the Han Civil War. Engaged to the love of her life, Iona, Elaine believes she has found peace. However, the tranquility is shattered when three formidable phoenixes descend from the Phoenix Peaks, claiming Auri must go with them for her own good. With heavy hearts, Elaine and Iona watch as Auri disappears into the sky, bound by a promise to return. War is brewing in the background, as civilization moves firmly into the crystalized era, where the easy expansion of nations and Immortals start to bump into each other, interests colliding.

When the agreed timeline expires without a sign of Auri, Elaine's worry transforms into resolve. Armed with newly honed wizardry skills and a heart full of determination, the Eventide Eclipse sets out on a perilous journey to the Phoenix Peaks to uncover the truth and bring Auri home. What mysteries await Elaine at the Phoenix Peaks? Why has Auri not returned? Join Elaine as she navigates a path filled with magic, adventure, and danger, proving that the bonds of love and friendship can challenge the mightiest of fates.
