Aurora is a young orphan who lives in a peaceful abbey, taking care of the outcast that her country's inquisitorial regime leaves out. One night, she discovers that she is marked by a terrible curse and is recruited by an ancient order of knights to train at an elite academy, in order to learn how to control her dangerous abilities. As the first woman admitted in the academy, Aurora is not well received and will have to use all her wits to defeat her opponents in an extraordinary world, where she is even more unusual.
