Mystic Reign:
The Awakening of Necrogard
Logline & Introduction
Twin sisters are torn apart by fate—one crowned as princess, the other transformed into a half-demon queen—and their conflict will determine whether Necrogard Island is saved…or consumed by ruin. When Princess Sukimi's beloved husband, Prince Ao, is kidnapped by her estranged sister Lady Akia Manto, a desperate rescue mission unfolds that collides with prophecy, betrayal, and the island's last hope for survival.
Necrogard Island is a land of breathtaking fantasy, but also one scarred by corruption, blight, and war. To some, it is a paradise of ancient magic and flourishing kingdoms. To others, it is a battlefield ruled by shadows and selfish ambition. What begins as a simple struggle between “good” and “evil” soon unravels into a moral maze, where every choice drips with consequence and even heroes may find themselves tainted.
Many centuries ago, the demon lord Baku unleashed a plague across Necrogard. Though his body was destroyed, his influence still festers, corrupting land and soul alike. The only power capable of reversing the rot lies in the Blessings—divine relics that bind the island to its Goddess and provide its lifeblood. Now, new rulers must rise to claim these blessings before Necrogard collapses entirely. At the heart of this story are three powerful women—Princess Sukimi, Lady Akia Manto, and Lady Fuyu—each forced into impossible choices as their arcs of power, tragedy, and redemption intertwine. The episodes shift between their perspectives until destiny brings them into direct collision.
