An ex-soldier, he can remember little of his life from before two years ago, when he woke up in the slums with only his name and his sword. Now he does odd-jobs to scrape by, until he comes across the score of a lifetime - a chest of coveted mithril for any assassin who can hunt down a girl who wields silver light. Meanwhile, far to the west, sixteen-year-old Ren is a cheerful and spirited theatre troupe performer living in an idyllic mountain village with her adoptive family. But everything changes during one of their festival performances when the village is attacked by a horrific humanlike monster with sharp claws and teeth. In a moment of fear and rage, Ren releases a powerful silver light she didn't know she possessed, killing the monster - but not in time to save her foster father's life, or to stop her adoptive brother from being grievously wounded. Determined to save her brother from succumbing to the poison inflicted by the monster, Ren sets off over the mountains to the east, where the creature came from - and from where Ren herself fled ten years ago. Her path sets her on a collision course with Sunho, but he doesn't realize she's the girl that he (and a hundred other assassins) is looking for. As the two grow closer through their travels, they come to realize that their pasts - and destinies - are far more entwined than either of them could have imagined . . .

I Premio Fandom de Novela Juvenil En el principio, Minerva trajo la magia core, que se alimenta de emociones y recuerdos. Pero le decepcionó el uso que hicimos de ella, así que le puso precio y nos dio la magia mense, refinada y con peligrosas consecuencias, y creo las academias para aprender a controlarla. En ellas solo estudian las brujas mas dignas, descendientes de las escogidas por Minerva. Al menos, eso dicen ellas. Diana no se lo cree, y piensa usar su beca en la Academia Minerva para mejorar la situacion de las familias humildes como la suya y destronar a las nobles como Çlex de la Encina, su rica y prepotente compañera de cuarto.Çlex de la Encina guarda un secreto: alguien de la Academia esta embrujando el tiempo. Esos hechizos estan prohibidos por una buena razon; crean efectos secundarios magicos, llamados nosencias, capaces de detener el tiempo, de repetirlo o de borrar recuerdos a su paso. Çlex se ha propuesto resolverlo antes de que alguien (o la reputacion de su hermana, directora de la Academia) salga mal parada. Y tiene una clara sospechosa: Diana, la plebeya que ha llegado para cambiarlo todo.
