Lee Strix isn't your average witch.
Once a rising star in the magical world, she's a professor who hides behind lesson and sarcasm at a remote northern magical academy, trying to forget a past that still burns : a academic defeat a decade ago which has shaped her whole perception of herself.
But as a tournament between magical schools begins anew this year - the very same one she lost all those years ago - Lee is pulled back into a world of old grudges, dangerous magic, and unexpected alliances, alongside her friend and colleague Indigo Serpen.
She's about to face off with her academic rival, also a professor and mentor at the tournament, Ren - who will do everything to try and seduce her, because everything is a game to him. But what happens when Kai, their old flame, is also there and between them?
As if that wasn't enough to deal with for Lee, she's about to discover Ren and Indigo share a secret past - one that's about to come out and shatter everything she thinks she knows about her friend, her nemesis, and their very world.
