To save Crimson Nyx, Vesper makes a pact with the Archimerist, creator and master of Novicus. Only, when the latter discovers the prince's noble origins, he betrays Vesper by fleeing with Crimson's soul. Vesper then discovers the existence of her half-sister, Vanea, whose aura has mysteriously disappeared. Accompanied by her faithful chimera Zarak and a surprising crystal child, Vesper races against time to find Vanea and discover the Archemist's true intentions. This manhunt leads the group to the dark ancestral temple of the Aurora Crux, where a cursed and bloodthirsty warrior awaits them.
