In the world of Iorasica, where ohmi breathes life into the extraordinary, lies a girl not bestowed with this living power. Imani, an ohmi-less teenager at the cusp of adulthood, dreams of honor and renown in the King's renowned military division, the Vanguard. Her path takes an unexpected turn with the mysterious disappearance of her adoptive mother and her father's dwindling sanity, leaving her to fend for her two younger brothers. When whispers of her unique nature reach the crown, Imani becomes entangled in a web of royal artifice, forcing her to flee into the heart of the world's secrets. Imani embarks on a perilous journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden truths about her lineage and now fractured world. Alongside Imani stands Melanie, an Apeironite and modest soul coerced into subjugation and bestowed the power of the Ohmites, whose friendship illuminates paths previously shrouded in darkness. As alliances form and betrayals surface, Imani confronts the reality that the key to saving or damning Iorasica is not within the grasp of ohmi but within the uncharted strength of her will. Can a girl who has always been less than others because of the power she lacks become the catalyst of change?
