There, she stumbles upon the arcane manuscript that had vanished following her mother´s untimely death. She suspects the manuscript contains a profound secret, and she is yet unaware of its link to a thousand-year-old war and her own family´s legacy. The tasks before her are clear: Secret must finally learn what Fewmany wants from her as well as the meaning of a strange symbol she´s dreamed of since childhood.
