Chrona is a country ruled largely by 'inheritors' who have magical abilities that distinguish them from those around them. Laephra lives in the slums of Chrona, surviving as best she can living in scrap-built houses, and making her money through recycling the pollution of the nearby river. All of that changes when her friend finds a Relic, a sought after magical item. When they gather their families together to figure what to do with the precious find, a mysterious and dangerous man with an inheritance appears at their house, and demands they sell him the item.With the money he gave her for their bargain, Laephra thinks that she can finally live a comfortable life, but in a twist of fate, she is forced to acquire her own Inheritance to save her family from death, either she acquires the legendary Inheritance and turns the sands of time back to zero, or her family stays dead, leaving her all alone.
