Her ability to read the past of objects is unmatched in all of Anima and, what's more, she possesses the ability to travel through mirrors, a skill passed down to her from previous generations. Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential member of a distant clan. Ophelia must leave all she knows behind and follow her fiancé to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted. There, in the presence of her inscrutable future husband, Ophelia slowly realises that she is a pawn in a political game that will have far-reaching ramifications not only for her but for her entire world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe World of the Arks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLong ago, following a cataclysm called the Rupture, the world was shattered into many floating celestial islands, now known as arks.
