'The Malefactor of Markai' marks the beginning of an epic journey as Sareene Aegrod and her companions set out to gather the Eight Orbs of Aram. Fate begins to unravel in the old imperial city of Calemra, where an unsuspecting mystic foretells fortunes that will change everything.

Ancient curses resurface through the lifelong quest of a silver-haired elf destined to transform the very essence of her being through determination alone. As Sareene uncovers the cards that will shape her path, she must journey to the middle continent-where the World Tree of Miracles, Celestria, holds the power to grant her deepest wish... at a cost yet unknown.
