Menrva has been a pure shrine maiden for almost 120 years of her fairy life. Having been the only survivor of her clan, she is beaten until she can't even fathom impure thoughts. Only the purest can cleanse the holy shrines, untouched, untainted. Her sacred ritual is interrupted with the appearance of her mate as he kills all of the shrine maidens in an attempt to reach his destiny. Things get complicated when her vow of silence is broken and her blood taints her gown. Violated, Menrva lashes out at goddess in which she serves, coating the shrine in crimson fury, earning herself a curse beyond her nightmares. The mark of purity remains bestowed upon her, taunting her.

Death after death, rejection after rejection, Menrva aimlessly roams the realm. No matter how many times she tries to escape the goddess's wrath, she fails. She suffers greatly for every win, losses are impossible. Menrva is punished for each relationship she fosters regardless of the type. Once she cares about a person, she is given a choice, if she chooses wrong, someone dies. The right answer is always the one that will hurt her the most. Depression consumes her on her path until she gives up, leading the way for a different kind of pain, one that hurts deeper than the goddess's wrath.
