Through countless trials and tribulations, Anna meets the most peculiar of characters- some of whom are enemies, others who become friends- and perseveres to save the mysterious land she grows to love before it is destroyed forever by greed.In the face of her bravery, no one realizes that Anna is struggling with a tragic secret- and one that might doom them all.
