Sapphire in the Wasteland

Siren Princess Sira is captured by General Kael, a commander serving the tyrant Malak, who intends to use her to find an endless water source. Along the way, the two go from enemies to lovers. Sira reveals the truth: Malak slaughtered her people, the sirens, and sealed off the water source in his pursuit of immortality. Kael's faith crumbles, and he joins the rebellion, but they suffer a crushing defeat. To avoid becoming a burden to Sira, Kael dashes himself against a wall and dies. Sira then rallies the Salt Crystal Warriors, the Phantom Flame Warhorses, and the Yinglong dragon, leading her avenging army to defeat the tyrant. She breaks open the water source, becomes the Queen of the Sirens, and buries her beloved in an ice crystal coffin, ushering in a new era
