Synopsis

Only teachers know what really happens at a magic school...Chintor Academy is celebrated as the place where the best music mages are forged. But beneath the surface, bullies rule with cruelty, teachers scheme against each other, and the student destined to save their nation is far from ready. Kalina didn't know what she was getting into when she agreed to teach at Chintor. Now, as a first-year teacher, she's tasked with finishing the training of this prophesied violinist. Their nation's sworn enemies are nearing victory, and she has mere months to prepare him before their country collapses.When Kalina uncovers the abuse of a vulnerable student, she's thrust into a dangerous dilemma. Exposing the school's underbelly means she'll be fired and unable to prepare their hero. Keeping quiet means her students will suffer. The fate of the nation—and her soul—hangs in the balance.
