I came to Daric Academy for one reason only, to learn the magic my sister needs, save her, and leave before anyone discovers what I really am.

Then I met Ephraim Darsenay. He is tall, dark-haired, and intensely observant. The kind of man who looks dangerous even standing still.

Unfortunately for my emotional stability, he also seems to enjoy provoking me.

Ephraim belongs to the very system I came here to deceive. And the closer he gets, the more dangerous everything becomes. Especially when he starts noticing things he absolutely should not notice.
The way I hold back during training.
The strange way magic reacts around me.
And the truth I would rather destroy myself than let the Academy uncover.

But the worst part? I'm not sure I want him to stop looking at me. Not even when falling for him could ruin everything.
