Life is tough for twelve-year-old orphan Adia. Her aunt and uncle believe she's a child that brings misfortune, possessed by a demon, and Adia can't disagree. When she suddenly manifests mysterious powers, causing an earthquake in her village, she flees to the faraway Academy of Shamans. Joining forces with a snarky goddess, a 500-year-old warrior girl and an annoying soldier-in-training, Adia must travel through hidden realms to save her kingdom.
But to succeed, she must first come to understand the powers inside her...as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
