Seraphina, or Fina, leads a quiet life as a seamstress in a remote village, unaware of the darkness stirring within her. Haunted by strange visions and feeling disconnected from her community, her life takes a dramatic turn when shadow beasts descend upon her village. In a moment of desperate defense, Fina unleashes her dormant shadow powers, revealing a heritage she never knew.
Gavril, a seasoned Shadow Hunter, arrives amidst the chaos, recognizing the unique signature of her powers. He reveals Fina's true lineage: she is Shadowmarked, descended from a bloodline capable of wielding shadow magic. Gavril explains the ancient prophecy foretelling the birth of a Shadowmarked child, one who will either save the world or plunge it into darkness. He believes Fina is this child, burdened with a destiny she never asked for.
Fina makes the difficult decision to leave her old life behind, embarking on a journey with Gavril to the Citadel of Dawn, the headquarters of the Shadow Hunters. Upon arrival, Fina is overwhelmed by the scale of the Citadel and the weight of her responsibilities. She begins her training, struggling to master her powers and adapt to the rigorous life of a Shadow Hunter.
As Fina endures intense training at the Citadel, she grapples with controlling her shadow powers and uncovers a disturbing plot by Zaltar, a malevolent Shadowmarked sorcerer, to shatter the Veil that separates the mortal realm from the Shadowlands. As she trains, Zaltar begins to infiltrate her dreams, tempting her with promises of unimaginable power. Fina is torn between her duty to the Shadow Hunters and the allure of the darkness within her.
During a critical mission, Fina's powers spiral out of control, causing unintended damage and endangering her comrades. Stripped of her confidence, Fina finds unexpected strength in her connection with Gavril, who helps her see that her powers are not inherently evil, but a part of her that she must learn to control.
Fina confronts Zaltar at the Veil, the mystical barrier separating the mortal realm from the Shadowlands. A fierce battle ensues, testing Fina's newfound control over her shadow powers. In a climactic moment, she defeats Zaltar, sealing the Veil and preventing the Shadowlands from engulfing the world.
Fina returns to the Citadel of Dawn, hailed as a hero. She accepts her role as a Shadow Hunter, dedicating her life to protecting the realm from the darkness, standing as a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of embracing one's destiny and finding balance in the face of darkness.
