Not long after a strange mist descends in her town, Florence, the daughter of the local watchmaker, has to leave. It was not just the townsfolk around her who had changed their ways and who wanted her to change her own, it was something else that really drove her away; there was something in the mist. She was not sure if this something was connected to the distant sorcerer who was said to spread the mist, but she was certain that she was afraid. She journeys out into the world to discover that it is not just her town that is plagued with the strange mist, but she also finds that she is not alone in being opposed to what it stands for. There are those who wish to free the world of the mysterious mist and it is a fight she intends to join.
