The Arcane Empire—the realm's most powerful magical dynasty—is ruled by seven great noble houses, each governing one of the seven schools of magic: Fire, Frost, Holy Light, Shadow, Prophecy, Arcane Circles, and Pacts. Upon coming of age, citizens undergo an assessment to determine their magical rank, which dictates their social status and future path. Celine, a once-in-a-millennium prodigy of the Holy Light school, fell victim to a scheme orchestrated by her fiancé, William, and her stepsister, Layla; on the day of her assessment, they swapped her results with Layla’s. Consequently, Celine was banished to a desolate frontier town, forced to live out her life under the stigma of being a "rank fraudster." Fifty years later, Celine’s granddaughter sought vengeance, devising a plan to expose William’s family and exact retribution, ultimately clearing her grandmother’s name and vindicating her.
