This is the story of a town called the Protectorate that lives in fear, believing a witch demands a baby sacrifice every year. However, the witch, Xan, is kind and rescues these abandoned babies. One year, she accidentally feeds moonlight to a baby, giving her powerful magic. This baby, Luna, is raised by Xan, but her magic becomes wild. The story follows Luna's journey to understand her powers and her past, while a young man from the Protectorate, Antain, questions the town's traditions. They eventually uncover the true source of the town's sorrow and fear, leading to a confrontation that changes everything.
