Ella’s escape began the moment Umbra, her bonded familiar, slammed against the door to warn her of danger. Faced with Liam’s betrothal pressure, she walked away from the academy overnight. But by the next day, dark magic had already ravaged the campus, and Liam was left seriously injured, desperate for help. Coming back in search of answers, Ella learned the nightmare had been engineered by Professor Thorne, the teacher everyone believed was dead. Seeking revenge, he exposed the academy’s hidden past: Ella’s Oxley Clan had once been sacrificed to seal the Void Rift. In the end, Umbra sacrificed itself to save Liam, and its soul power joined with Ella’s so she could defeat Thorne. Once the truth was revealed, Ella went to the Far Northern Wastelands to claim her clan’s legacy, while Liam remained to rebuild the academy and guard the world’s balance.
