The servant girl has a secret...
...and it's hidden in plain sight.
Hana serves a well-to-do family who treats her kindly, but something is amiss. She doesn't quite fit the role of a mere servant. Fluent in multiple languages, including the elusive High Elvish, she is an accomplished musician and a skilled artist. Yet, these talents are not the only things she keeps hidden.
Hana can wield blood magic.
In a world where her secret could cost her everything, Hana knows that discovery would force her into the Tournament of Mages—a brutal contest where she would face five other powerful mages, each mastering a different form of magic.
She has already sacrificed everything: her family, her friends, and the one secret she can never afford to reveal.
