I was chosen by my god. Now I'll make them see why. Fifteen-year-old Mira bears sacred tattoos marking her as a Daughter of Celesta-a golden child destined to uphold divine tradition. Her faith is absolute, her path clear: marry a lord, birth a holy dynasty, and secure her society's future. But beneath the life-changing rituals and melodic prayers, cracks form in her foundations. Society's demands are suffocating. Their "blessings" feel like shackles. And when Mira's carefully ordained future is twisted by the very powers she revered, she uncovers a vicious truth: her world is built on sacred deceit. Now, with forbidden magic igniting her blood and shadows whispering of dissent, Mira faces a choice: Submit to the Hierarchy's crushing expectations... or wield the power they fear to burn their tradition to the ground.
