    In the aftermath of a religious war, Solara, a knight, searches for her missing sister, Heulgwyn, while struggling with physical and emotional pain. Flashbacks reveal her defiance against societal expectations, the clergy of her goddess Ravi advising against letting her join the army amid religious and political turmoil between her people and the enemy, the Silverbornes. Despite hardship, Solara’s resolve to win this war and protect her comrades earns divine favour, marking her as worthy with Ravi’s emblem.
