Astor-Holt Academy

Tril has dreamed since childhood of studying at the Astor-Holt Academy of Magical Physics. Alas, only aristocrats were admitted, and the tuition was out of reach for a nameless orphan. But one day fate gave her a chance, and Tril boldly went for her dream—without even suspecting that ahead of her would be hard work, intense study under the supervision of a strict mentor, problems with the empire’s most ruthless tyrant, and her own past, which hides many secrets. And of course, she couldn’t have imagined that, against her will, she’d be pulled into a dirty struggle for power—where her life and love would be at stake.
