Risk and reward. Cost and choice. The Stars of Ara--Namu and Hye--have learned the truth about magic and are ready to face their destinies. The time has come to merge science with magic. If they're successful, everyone will benefit. Fail, though…and it could be all over.
Hye and Namu know the truth--now it's time to make a choice. Will they risk everything to change the magic system, or be defeated before they even begin? Not everyone supports their movement, and there are even some who would do anything to stop it.
A seat at the Ara School of Magic is all Namu's--that is, if she can get there on time. When their carriage breaks down, Hye and Namu are left to fend for themselves. Can they find common ground and work together as teammates, or are both headed home?
Namu and Hye have arrived at the Ara School of Magic. But they have more questions and no answers. There is more to magic than they could ever have imagined. The ability to hurt, heal, and help comes with a price--and someone must pay.

The biggest day of the year has arrived--the test to get into the Ara School of Magic. Namu has dreamed of being accepted. Alongside Hye, her sometimes-nemesis (and much cooler schoolmate), Namu seeks to prove that she has what it takes to be the next rising Star of Ara.
