Isabelle’s life was garbage. Then she got yeeted into Beaubinte—a stat-ridden fantasy hellpit where caves whisper loot me, the logs scream errors, and poison arrows count as handshakes. She was supposed to be a side character. Probably. Now her sneak stat won’t stop climbing, her fireballs keep committing war crimes, and the system is either sentient or just high on its own code. The prophecy’s glitched. The Citadel’s on fire. The gods are watching like it’s reality TV. Isabelle? Underdressed. Overleveled. Emotionally unavailable. Looting everything that isn’t nailed down.

Instead, a new coven comes to town. A coven of witch females who call themselves The Sisters of the Circle, a small, elite group for the upper crust of witch society—according to Dolores. But there's something off about this coven, and I just can't put my finger on it. All the while, my aunts and other witches in town worship the ground they walk on like fangirls. Forget my time off.
