The country of Suleit has long been under a magus' curse, creating sudden expanses of elemental energy called Zones. Those caught inside of it are known as the Touched, and despite the gifts this afford them, they are often looked down upon by those in power.

One such Touched, a blacksmith named Yvonne, has a chance meeting with an outgoing noblewoman, Lirena, who seems fascinated by her gifts, and the two form an instant connection in a land that would see them separated before they can further that bond.
