Hunger is all Seren knows, but an invite to a glorious castle changes everything for her, or so she thinks. In one night, she leaves her warm bed at the orphanage, and in return, a cold floor of a dungeon awaits her. To make matters worse, she isn't a guest but a birthday gift, and a cruel princess receives her as such. Her only comfort is Evan, a twelve-year-old prince who is brave, well, most of the time. He breaks his oath to his father by telling his newfound friend a secret: an evil red-eyed raven is kidnapping children of royal blood, heirs, and his brother is one of them. He tells her Orrin's golden armor can save them, but no one knows where it is since Orrin hid it, centuries ago. When Seren stumbles upon a mysterious book leading to the whereabouts of the armor, she puts her new life of servitude on hold and sets out to find it. With the help of Evan, and Artemis —a rude, know-it-all prodigy—the unlikely trio sneaks out of the castle and embark on a journey to a bizarre world within worlds. They only have days to find it before a blood moon, and a rising evil consumes the land. If they follow the instructions in the book on how to retrieve the armor without unleashing more evil, they may be able to save the children after all, their kingdoms, and even themselves. But first, they'll need a little light to do it....
