This is the tale of a witch who toyed with a vast continent.

After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, Sitara found herself utterly alone, with no ability to survive on her own, and no hope for the future. Taken in by a family of scholars, the power of “knowledge” is imparted on her within the calm of her new life.

Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world.

When that boundless ambition finally reaches Sitara’s city, her quiet days come to an end, and the wheels of fate begin to turn.
