Episode Details

In a world where floating cities harness the power of enchanted pearls, the privileged live in dazzling towers above while the oppressed toil in the slums below. When Ezrin, a grief-stricken teenage rebel, is captured after a failed mission to dismantle the Empire's pearl-powered tyranny, she finds an unlikely ally in the Empress herself—a mysterious architect of revolution. With time running out and the weight of her lover’s sacrifice heavy on her heart, Ezrin must make an impossible choice: ignite the organ that powers the Empire’s floating capital or succumb to the Commander’s brutal interrogation. As the city begins to tremble and the pearls revolt against their captors, the fate of an entire civilization hangs in the balance.
