Escaping her hard life by getting admitted to Academia of Magic and Mythical Arts, Reya finally gets some long desired stability and control over her life. With her current circumstances, she could only afford one hot meal a day, and even that was a struggle to maintain. Her hope was that, as she progressed through her studies and began to harness magic more efficiently, her body would demand less sustenance. And if she could successfully make it to her third year at the Academia in two weeks, both lodging and food would finally become free. Little does she know that it is just the lull before the storm of events set in motion long before she came into this world.

There is a game at play and she does not know the rules or see the players cloaked in shadows, looming and waiting.

Is her resolve and soul strong enough to endure the betrayals, dangerous knowledge, and path carved out for her? Or will she be just a grain of sand under the bigger player's foot! Should she flip the table? She certainly has the guts for it. If she does, how will the cards fail?
