Storyline

Celeste finds herself fighting for her life after enduring a betrayal that no one should experience. As she nears her final breath, she is whisked away to a different world: Remoire. Things are not as they seem, though. She’s not a mortal. Her past is as vast as the ocean. Her soul is fractured and barely holding together from the traumas she’s faced and forgotten. She must heal herself or even the tiniest tragedy could shatter her. But she’s not the only one who is broken. Join Celeste as she fights not only to save her own life, but to change the lives of those around her. Will you traverse worlds, realms, and even time itself? Will you test your fate? Will you try again?
