A war that dragged on for a long decade brought new realities to the life of a changed state. The greedy monarch and the aristocracy were toppled from their summit, while the magicians every summer toured all the cities, searching for gifted children as if they were rare, uncut gemstones. For the first time in a long while, a young girl named Sariya—who had lost her parents—was lucky. A gift was found in her. So, seizing that opportunity, she decided to devote herself entirely to magic. The path was chosen. And when the grown young woman finally entered the gates of the capital’s academy of magic, she greedily grabbed at any knowledge available, trying to find ways to accelerate her development. But… it’s hard to study when strange incidents—and even murders—happen on the academy grounds, and part of the suspicions and leads point straight at her.
