Mages remain only in fairy tales; children are frightened with their name. The four kingdoms have long been cleansed of the taint of sorcery, to be accused of suspicion of magic means death or even worse...

Seiri, a Leiran aristocrat, lives in exile. She does not want to deal with palace intrigues, power politics, or the unjust laws of the country. But her world is shattered when she rescues a fugitive from Leiran soldiers, a powerful warrior who is unable to speak and appears to be insane.

But there is more to the stranger than meets the eye. And now Seiri will have to help him remember who he is and what he is, before the fugitive is found by those who plunged him into his current state... and prevent the destruction of the world.
