A foreboding prophecy. A lost empress. And a battle to determine the fate of the world. Their academy was abolished by the government, and their powers ruled forbidden. To protect her family and escape imprisonment, Mayhara Guatama is forced to surrender her mage status and work for the enemy. But when she receives a mysterious message revealing the abduction of the Lotus Empress, Mayhara must band together with other outlawed elite mages to outrun the government and rescue the empress, all while staying under the radar of a powerful shadow army. The government is hot on their trails, the soldiers of the shadow army on the rise, and the dark god Kashmeru has the Lotus Empress under his control. With their powers deemed illegal, the elite mages must risk everything to save their world.
