In her quest for vengeance, she will rip the crown from the head of a corrupt king, and steal the immortality from his heart, even though doing so will cost her very soul.
She is the darkest villain among her kind.
A SPARK OF HOPE…
And yet, there is hope for redemption, even for one as evil as she.

But there's a connection between the two, and a new life about to begin.
