Four years. That’s how long Kalina’s country has been fighting for their lives against a nation taken over by a cult of human sacrificers.
Eight months. That’s how long Kalina’s husband has been in a coma ever since the enemy blew up her magical cello.
The enemy has captured the few mages skilled enough to heal him. Which means the only way for Kalina to save her husband is to win the war. But the enemy has rare flintlock technology. And her nation is on the brink of defeat.
Seven months. That’s also how much longer before the prophesied hero of Kalina’s nation graduates from mage school. The prophecy says he’ll only win if he’s mastered musical magic before he’s forced to enter the battlefield.
But the school has been hiding a terrible truth: The boy isn’t ready.
Kalina has never taught before. But the school is convinced that Kalina is uniquely qualified to help the boy become the hero of legends. And when her husband’s life is on the line… what other choice does she have?
Kalina becomes a first year teacher in hopes she can save her nation and revive her husband. But she hasn’t yet realized how many other secrets the school is keeping. The teachers who would happily sabotage her to get fame for themselves. Or the administration that will require her to cover up crimes in order to stay there.
She certainly doesn’t know yet about the bullied students who desperately needed someone to stand up for them.
When she’s asked to choose between her job and her integrity, will she look the other way to train the hero and save her husband? Or will she expose the school’s dark underbelly when it could cost her everything?
She has seven months to do so before the prophecy runs out of time.
