It's a rainy day when four-year-old Eiryn has to say goodbye to her mother. Scared, confused and unwilling to do so, Eiryn tries to summon water to stop the funeral from happening and her life falls apart. Her uncle is always sad and busy; she keeps hearing her mother's voice asking her to follow; her best friend keeps getting into fights; and some of her classmates hate her for existing.

Arèn never wanted children, but he's desperate to protect his niece from his people's extreme caution regarding magic and other races. Kerisaoina children aren't capable of using it and his niece is no exception. Despite being only half-kerisaoina, Eiryn is already starting to show that she'll be one of her generation's most talented magic-singers and those who don't approve of her existence are trying to take advantage of a young girl's grief.

Eiryn is determined to make her uncle happy, but it's hard to make other people happy when you have to struggle through the day yourself. She'll find a way, though. She's promised. And even if her mother won't keep her word Eiryn will keep hers.

She'll make everything right again.

You'll see.
