In the year 444, Imperial Calendar, amidst the first blizzard of early winter, a once-proud clan meets its downfall. The cherished emblem of the Anyi, a symbol of their heritage, is mercilessly swallowed by a deluge of aggressors as their people face annihilation. The few who survive are cast into the harsh winds of desperation, scattering in all directions. Many among them set their course southward, toward the Kundishelm, where the Rose Clan resides. Yet, not all will reach their destination. Among the fortunate few are two children from a controlled and privileged class known as the Ashern.
