Serana’s loving parents concealed from her and her siblings a deadly truth: they were Elven sympathizers. Having constructed a sort of underground railroad to get Elven slaves out of the Empire, the Kelvayah’s operated for years without any the wiser. One day they were discovered, and the wrath of the legions was brutal and swift. When Serana returned home from training with In Silentium, the deadly ninjas of the south, she found her home in ruins and her family murdered.
