The Royal Era is a time of peace for the universe, and in the Blossom Field galaxy, a time of great change. The status quo of millions of years begins to shift as a new generation of Cultivators rise to rule and defend their worlds--and the prophesied Apexes of Dark and Light are born to balance all that lives. High Princesses Shanae Protea and Sayena Delphinium grow up knowing that there will be a price to pay for their very existence, for no Apex can live without paying such a thing, but only Shanae knows the bitter truth of the prophecy that clouds her days and haunts her sleep with nightmares. For her to pay her price, for her to do what must be done . . . the kingdoms will fall.And in an apocalypse that reshapes all existence, they do.Five thousand years pass before those who fell are able to rise again to finish what they had begun. Into a nearly new world they are born where many have forgotten they ever existed. Even the High Princesses themselves barely remember who and what they were--but inside their souls, the memories still live. As evil breaks free anew and forces them to confront their destinies and their past, it is their futures left uncertain as the price to exist looms ever closer, and threaten to destroy them before they can reclaim their crowns and their two kingdoms.

Tyrian Southerwind thought his eighteenth birthday would be unremarkable: take on more duties as the son of the High General, meet with an emissary, and ignore his brother's teasing over the cluster of interested females stalking the now-legal combatant. Instead, he finds his entire world turned upside down as the beautiful emissary brings him news of the tyranny consuming the land--and stirs his heart in more ways than one. When his brother's death leads him to revisit their childhood home, and he sees the trouble firsthand, the High General's son does the only thing he can to save the people: he joins a rebellion. Unknown to Tyrian and the ones around him, however, is the great destiny laid before him. Long before he had been born, it had been foretold of a hero called a Kaiten Star that would be blessed by the stars and save his land. As Tyrian gathers those destined to share the skies with him, and struggles to fight back against the evil infesting the Empire, he finds his ability to endure pushed to the limit. Only the support of his Kentei Star-his destined lover-keeps him from shattering apart entirely. Gifted with a great power, burdened by eternity, and beholden to Destiny, can Tyrian rise up to become the hero of ancient stories before he loses everyone and everything he holds dear?
