About: 
In a land where magic is a precious and dwindling resource, four estranged royal siblings—Vira, Ronak, Kaleb, and Riya—must reunite to find the legendary Ivory Key, which promises a new source of magic to protect their kingdom of Ashoka from impending war. Vira seeks to honor her mother's legacy as queen, Ronak wants to escape an unwanted political marriage, Kaleb aims to clear his name from false assassination charges, and Riya strives to prove her loyalty to the rebels. Each sibling has their own secret motivations and conflicting agendas, making their cooperation fraught with tension. As they embark on this perilous quest, their ability to work together becomes crucial not only for their survival but for the fate of their world.
