Before the Levadis family ascended the throne, Tanispa and Siscal were under the governmental control of Carpaen, a booming Empire no one dared challenge. Driven by his own private agenda against the Vor'shai, the ruthless Emperor targets the family of the young Kaori Levadis. Desperate to defend against the Emperor's tyranny, Kaori decides to strike back, creating a name for herself as an unlikely hero amongst the Vor'shai. Persecuted for their heritage, Kaori's people are left with no choice other than to prepare for a civil war unlike anything Myatheira has seen before. Thrust into a world of turmoil and pain, Kaori learns quickly that weakness is not an option when the freedom of an entire race rests upon her shoulders. Bringing to life the history of the beloved Vor'shai, In the Beginning tells the story of how strength, honor, and ultimate sacrifice helped mold the world of Myatheira for generations to come.
