Riven, a young elf prince born without any spiritual power, was deemed an omen of misfortune and sentenced to death by the Council of Elders. His mother, Sylvie, pretended to kill him, but secretly sent him to the human kingdom. Raised by Magnus, the world's most powerful mage, he mastered the art of "Decomposition and Reconstruction" — the ability to break down any spell or spiritual energy into its most primitive particles and reshape them. Twenty years later, he returns to his homeland carrying a fragment of spirit jade, searching for his family. Along the way, he rescues his long-lost sister, Lyra, and reunites with his mother in the elven tree-fort. When the Direwolf Clan, the Hydra, and other mighty foes descend upon the elves in a slaughter, this abandoned and underestimated young man stands alone against them all — protecting his family with a body that holds no magic at all — and is finally crowned the 137th Emperor of the Elven Clan.
