Summary
Short version:
A different interpretation of The Shattering, an alternative universe where Marika's family is (mostly) functional. Heavily focused on Malenia and Ranni's complicated romance, but there's plenty of the other Demigods here as well.
Long version:
Miquella and Malenia return to Leyndell after a long and difficult period spent at the Haligtree to cure Malenia of the Scarlett Rot. Now, fully cured and stronger than ever, Malenia is finally able to live a normal life. She wants to become a warrior, maybe find love, and if she's lucky enough, make amends with her half sister Ranni.
Ranni and Malenia's personalities never matched, despite Ranni being Miquella's best friend, both girls were always bickering and picking fights with each other, but who knows, maybe time had changed them more than they realize.
While those two try to find out where they stand with each other now, a lot of things are happening in the shadows, a new threat to Queen Marika's Golden Order seems increasingly imminent, and she's afraid that her family won't be strong enough to handle it.
