After twenty-three years of studying the arcane arts on Hidden Peak, Aldric has long surpassed his master, Master Aldwin. Before descending the mountain, he receives one final mission: find the imperial princess, Seraphina, protect her for at least one year, and safeguard the royal magic rune emblem she wears.
Meanwhile, Seraphina is drugged by her fiancé, Malachar, and accidentally stumbles into Aldric’s room. Their unexpected encounter brings Malachar rushing in to catch them together—and gives Aldric his first chance to overwhelm everyone with his unrivaled magical power.
