A new Dark Witch is coming.her unfathomably strong abilities.
Elloren Gardner is the grandchild of Carnissa Gardner, the last Black Witch prophesied to have defeated the enemy and rescued the Gardnerian people during the Realm War. Even though Elloren is a perfect replica of her well-known grandmother, she lacks any authority in a culture that places a premium on magical prowess.
Elloren leaves the shadow of her grandmother's heritage behind when she is given the chance to follow her childhood passion of becoming an apothecary and enrols with her brothers at the esteemed Verpax University. However, she quickly learns that the institution, which accepts a wide range of individuals—including the winged, fire-wielding Icarals, who are the sworn enemies of all Gardnerians—is a dangerous place for the Black Witch's granddaughter.
All Elloren thought she knew is about to be tested and ripped away as evil draws near and the strain to live up to her heritage increases. If she can just get the bravery to put her faith in those she has been trained to dread, she could have the greatest chance of surviving amid the most improbable group of rebels.
