Beneath a slate-grey sky on the rainy coast of Wakefield, the Vostesk manor has stood for centuries, desperately clinging to the last of its magic. It is a noble house stricken with tragedy: the birth of a son with no magic to speak of, a daughter gone missing, a father with ice in his veins, and a mother in the throes of addiction. Still, the house struggles to maintain a dignity that Vostesk Senior is determined to keep at any cost. In the aftermath of an arranged marriage, Harlen and his new wife Millie live in the shadow of the Vostesk legacy in a world where magic is everything. Millie questions the strange behavior of those both in and outside the manor while Harlen bears the pressure of his father's expectations and dares to ask if his sister's disappearance was truly unexpected.
