Life in a magical family can turn out in different ways. Some are lucky—to have a path, to study, and to work. And for others—not so much—because there is no first, no second, and no third. What should you do? Wait for a miracle? Let’s wait. Did the “miracle” turn out to be the great-grandfather’s will and inheritance in the form of a castle? A castle—trap; and the condition for leaving—initiation? Fine. Then end up becoming a thief, someone forbidden to appear in the lineage of mages? All right. First we’ll run off to study. And then we’ll figure it out. Through understanding the power and the secret of one’s own essence—even if you have to go blindly, by touch. Even if the search is like trying to catch a shifting, elusive wind. The first book of a duology.
