Synopsis
Those who choose to become mages face the most gruesome deaths. Those who aspire to become Magis are simply courting suicide.
Ellie Alarie entered King’s Academy with a single purpose: to ascend to the rank of Magi, the most esteemed mages in Aldea. Her years at the academy have been challenging yet safe, sometimes boring even — until her fifth year.
Whispers speak of an imminent war, one that will be fought among human nations but ultimately won by the monsters that thrive on the dead. These whispers don’t faze Ellie; they only serve as a grim reminder that her time is slipping away.
Her quest to become a mage has transformed into a fight for survival—and a thirst for revenge.
Now, she stands at the center of a brewing storm, where the calm before the chaos is both a refuge and a curse.
