Varis, a young noble without title or land, accepts an offer to work as a teacher at the Royal Academy — a grand school that trains the kingdom’s most gifted magicians. What begins as a new opportunity soon feels strange, as if the academy itself hides something behind its walls.
There, Varis meets Lisena, a royal princess with a power far beyond her age. As he teaches, Varis slowly uncovers secrets that connect him to the academy’s past — and to the people within it.
But the deeper he searches, the clearer it becomes that some truths are better left untouched. In this place of knowledge and ambition, even a teacher may become a part of the mystery he once sought to solve.
