Synopsis/Details
Summary:
From the ashes of celestial war, Earth was divided between the forces of Light and Dark. For centuries, the balance held. But in the year 2315, the megacity of New-Hallah—under the rule of the immortal Bastian and his corporation, Dagon Inc.—has become a beacon of authoritarian perfection, enslaving the remnants of humanity outside its walls.
Kana, a fierce and enigmatic warrior, rescues a feral young girl named Alina from gang violence, only to discover she is linked to an ancient prophecy. Alina is the new “Herald,” and Kana, unknowingly, is the “Regent”—a divine protector reborn into human form. Together, with a ragtag resistance led by scientist Bradley and the scarred commander Gregor, they uncover the secrets of a long-buried celestial conflict, Kana’s mutated DNA, and a looming cataclysm heralded by the monstrous Zaravan Comet.
As the city prepares for the Alignment—a cosmic event that may tear open the veil between worlds—Kana must choose between fleeing with the innocent or facing Dagon’s immortal overlords in a last stand to protect the spark of humanity.
