Kiva ha diciassette anni e ormai da tempo ricopre il ruolo di guaritrice a Zalindov, una prigione letale in cui chiunque è sacrificabile, in qualsiasi momento. Un giorno, nella sua infermeria approda la Regina Ribelle, che è stata catturata ed è gravemente malata.

Consapevole che la Regina Ribelle non è in grado di affrontarle, Kiva prende il suo posto, pur sapendo che nessuno, in realtà, è mai sopravvissuto.

"Je ne sais pas si un paradis quelconque existe ni si je mérite d’y atterrir, mais j'espère avoir au moins la chance de rencontrer ce fameux passeur et de pouvoir plaider ma cause auprès de lui.
