Description

Annette and Laila have always dreamed of wielding magic. When they learn of the chance to apply for coveted apprenticeships at Paduane's royal magical

academy, they seize the opportunity.

Leaving their small town behind, the girls are dazzled—and daunted—by the castle's magnificence. Somehow, they squeak through their auditions, only to

be devastated when they're separated into different units: Annette to train in defensive tactics, and Laila to become a magical warrior. Their new world is

exciting, but perils and deceit lurk everywhere. Not all the teachers are what they seem, and the stakes are much higher than just getting good grades.

Will these two determined girls thrive in this dangerous school of magic? And, in spite of being forced apart, can best friends find a way to stay true to each

other forever?
