In a world where young mages awaken their mana with the help of a guide, Shana has been tasked with awakening Blysse Hoff, the Hoff outcast. But this commoner guide has a secret: she'll die in eight years if she stays by Blysse's side. Desperate to avoid a dreary end, Shana tries to find a way to escape... but is held back by the fact that Blysse will lose his life if she fails to bring about his awakening. Faced with an impossible choice, can Shana come up with a plan that could save them both?
