The realm of Kouka enjoys a radiant princess whose childlike charm enchants everyone she meets. Yona, raised behind palace walls and kept safe from harm, has lived a life of blissful protection. Yet all splendor eventually fades.
Her idyllic existence shatters when a brutal betrayal threatens to strip her of everything she loves, including her rightful claim as Kouka"s heir. With no allies left except her childhood confidant and devoted guard, Son Hak, Yona is compelled to abandon the palace. Confronted with the dangers of wilderness while hunted, she realizes that her kingdom no longer offers sanctuary.
Liberated from innocence, Yona resolves to grow strong enough to vanquish her foes. Together with Hak, she must reconstruct the fragments of an age‑old legend that could unlock the path to restoring her realm from those who plotted its usurpation.
The palace corridors, once echoing with laughter, now feel cold and foreboding. Yona's heart aches as she remembers the whispered promises of her mother's counsel, urging caution and resilience. The treacherous conspirators have already sealed the gates, leaving her with only memories of golden halls. Determined to reclaim what was stolen, Yona trains relentlessly, mastering swordplay and survival tactics.
