Alone. Forgotten. Imprisoned.

Chloe wont let herself be any of these things.

After the explosion of activity around Ambras freedom, the college is teetering on the edge. The main power structure is failing, and nobody knows what will fill the gaping hole left by the death of the main leaders.

And Chloe knows just what to do.

Way back in her life, before she allied herself with Necromancers and Demons alike, she had been captured by the college, and the only reason why shes still alive is a bond she formed while imprisoned: a magical creature, barely understood, barely sentient, captured solely for its ability to give people unimaginable power if they possess it.

More importantly, Chloe views it as a friend. And no matter what you say about her, she wont leave her friends behind.

And now, with the ever present organization of the college finally collapsing, she has an opportunity to find her friend, to save them both from the looming danger of being back in the grasp of those who have controlled them before.

But shes not the only one looking.

Freshly escaped from the grasps of the sinister College, Ambra the demon has only one goal: stay escaped.

Or, even better, kill those who might capture her again.

Prevent anything that had happened to her from happening to anyone else. Somehow get herself permanently free. Sever the ties that control her and hide away.

And shes going to make this young magician she kidnapped help her.

Gurlien thought that he would never deal with the College ever again, not since they kicked him out after almost sacrificing himself for the good of the world.

And yet, right after breaking out of a high security base, he finds himself quite literally tied to a capricious demon, pulled into her quest for revenge.

And all he wants to do is survive.

Magic is realand she never knew.

Her entire life, Delina Frisse has always felt she's missing something.

Something big.

Something right on the edge of her awareness, some evidence that there is more to her life, some skill shes supposed to pick up. Something.

She just didnt think it could end the world.

When Delina receives a deranged letter from her deceased biological mother, her entire life is plunged into chaos.

Her childhood　a lie.

Her mundane existence　a lie.

Her doting boyfriend　fake. And also a Half Demon.

Because her mother revealed a world that had been deliberately hidden from her, a world of magic. Of death. A world that Delina can only begin to understand, full of power and mystery.

A world that has been controlling her entire life to make sure she never, never finds out what she can do.
