Ayaru Mistflower is a young witch researcher in the academic witch city, Witchaven. The results of her research could bring their race to new heights but… she is being looked down on and insulted. Can't they see that her research is to help and not to insult? Her world comes crashing down as her lifelong research gets brutally rejected by the Council. 'Make a beneficial contribution or face exile!' Is what they told her. The council didn't stop there. It seemed as if they did anything in their power to make Ayaru's life a living hell.

Will Ayaru show everyone the true value of her research? It did make her strong enough to defeat a council member in a duel. How does the mysterious death of a council member relate to this? And why is a god attacking their city? And what is the deal with this human city, built in a mountaintop? Is Ayaru able to prove the worth of her research or will these strange events distract her from her goal?
