Estella's only goal in life is to finish her studies and become a knight general to serve her kingdom. But that all changed when she met Nox, whose rare shadow magic is attuned to her powers over light.

Driven by their connection, Estella finds herself being drawn to the enigmatic squire in a fiery obsession that might just help her achieve her dream.

And where defeat means expulsion.

Two fates intertwined—one chasing the light of her future, the other living in the shadows of his past. Will their combined powers be enough to overcome the challenges of the Academy?
