In a land not so different than ours, divided into 13 nations, a daughter to a cruel king lives with the gift of seeing different moments in time. Her father, as tough and colourless as the country he rules over has created a system leaning on the work of the poorest citizens. One night when his daughter's quarters turn to ashes and she gets followed into the night, she escapes with two lowly but loyal guards with the means to protect her life.

The guards are really nothing more than a boy and a girl with strange stories and backgrounds from the ends of the worlds, but eventually all three learn to trust each-other and become a closer team than ever expected though their differences.

But death and exposure are never far away and ultimately all of the secrets of the land unravel before their eyes.
