Nekkiri 1 - The essence of magic

A world dreamed by gods. A power hidden in the depths of the wilderness. An elixir more powerful than death. Hidden in the wilderness they can be found: the sacred plants of Kintar. Only a few people are allowed to extract their magical secret from the plants. But those who obtain the powerful essence draw the magic themselves. The young mage Nekkiri is one of them. When her mother is captured under mysterious circumstances, the girl sets out to find the real reason. In the process, she comes across a vial containing an unknown black essence. Others are also after the substance. Nekkiri realizes that her mother's life depends on the mysterious essence. But what happens when she must cross the paths of the dreaming gods to get it?
