In Korea's distant past, a shaman witnesses a traitorous murder and dies for it, but her spirit begins to watch over an unborn child with a significant destiny.
Discovering Yeon Wu's last betrayer devastates King Hwon, but it awakens his resolve to put everything in its proper place, starting with the Queen Dowager.
As Yeon Woo begins training as the Crown Princess, Shaman Jang Nok Yeong casts a deadly incantation against her powered by the unwary Princess Min Hwa.
Confronting his powerlessness in selecting whom he'll marry, Prince Hwon fights it politically, leaving the scheming Dowager Queen no choice but to fight back with dirty tactics.
Only Shaman Jang Nok Yeong sees the coming solar eclipse as the moment when the heavens begin to return everything to their proper places, which none shall escape it.
Weol's continued denial of being Yeon Wu prompts King Hwon's curiosity into events of eight years ago, but court records frustrate him and all parties involved have since died - well, all but one.
