Eleanor Robinson wanted to go to Oxford and after hounding her father to let her go, she applied and was accepted.Then the Great War broke out and her father went to war leaving her alone with her stepmother and two stepsisters. When the letter came stating that her father had died, her stepmother put Eleanor through a ritual, Eleanor was forced to undergo a painful and frightening ritual - during which the smallest fineger of her left hand was severed and buried beneath the harth with a spell that prevented her from leaving the environs of the home. Her stepmother was an Elemental master of Earth - a Master that practiced the darker blood-fueled arts. When Reginald Fenyx who was an Elemental Mater of Air came along her hopes of escaping seemed brighter. Eleanor and Reginald were two souls scourged by war and evil magic. Could they somehow find the strength to help one another rise from the ashes of their destruction?
