Elara is a naturally gifted mage with a proclivity for trouble. When one spell too many goes disastrously wrong, she’s faced with being stripped of her powers – until a Hail Mary arrives in the form of acceptance to an elite magical institution, Aethel University. Alistair, a star student, excellent magician and a big fan of duty and order is charged with monitoring the fiery, impulsive Elara. The two could not be more different, but are forced to rely on each other to crack a mystery that puts the whole school in danger.
