When the guardian stone shatters, Zimmer Chapman frantically begs ten-year-old Yarel Fisher—his clan's reincarnated ancestor—to return and restore their blessings. Yarel, however, chooses the Fisher household and refuses. That decision sparks betrayal and scorn: Chapmans resent his choice, while Fishers' contempt forces him into exile. Misfortune then hounds the Fisher family, and Yarel endures disrespect from Chapman descendants. As disasters pile up, Zimmer's pleas and the family's regret arrive too late to undo the damage. A tight, tragic cycle unfolds—choice, exile, and irreversible regret—where loyalty and loss collide with painful finality.
