Adra Alnair is a young girl who lives in the kingdom of Ruach. The green kingdom is home to a group of people who have the power to summon the wind, which they use for a variety of purposes. Adra has always dreamed of being one of them, but she has never shown any signs of possessing this ability. One day,her village is attacked by soldiers. Adra's mother is struck by an arrow and tells Adra to run to the forest and hide. Adra obeys, but when she wakes up the next day, she finds herself alone and lost in the forest. Adra struggles to survive in the forest, learning how to hunt and find food on her own. After several days, she discovers that she has the power to summon the wind. A small mark appears on her hand, which starts to grow over time. Adra experiments with her powers, using them to move faster through the forest and to hunt more efficiently.
