About this listen

All magic has laws—until they're broken.

Willow, a teen sick with the Wasting, isn't supposed to be alive. Her body is weak and her skills are lackluster, but she's determined to become a mage.

Tired of being a burden, Willow secures a spot at the world's most prestigious magic academy led by the finest arcane minds in history. But when magic unravels and instruments fail in her presence, it becomes clear she's not just a student. She's an anomaly that could ignite a magical war.

As tensions rise between walled city-states, foreign powers, and rampaging warbeasts, Willow must master her gift not just to rewrite the rules but to erase them entirely.

Dive into this progression fantasy adventure where magic's last anomaly is also its most dangerous student. Features an expansive magic system, steady progression, powerful spells, and a world on the brink of war.
