Orphelia is mute. She cannot speak and is ignored because of this basic disability. Since she cannot do the things she wishes due to her disability, she dances most often. Readying for a recital, she meets Glytherin, her partner who spends time to read the words she writes on paper, and that leads her to allowing him to show her into a new world; a new realm. She regains her ability to hear, but faces different problems. She's told she's a fairy by Glytherin's forceful fiance, the princess, Lindsay who once upon a time, had stolen her face. Now since Orphelia has entered this realm, unwanted by Lindsay, or her mother the Queen, she must sacrifice herself as a warrior in an upcoming war. For the smallest hints along the way, she memorizes her passed-away-mother who left her little poems to show her along.
