A character-driven high fantasy of quiet magic, earned strength, and chosen family.

———

She grew up dreaming of heroism—until her life was shattered. Now she’s fighting for something deeper.

Sola always wanted to be a healer and adventurer. Her shelves overflow with stories of bravery and magical quests. But after losing her parents in a violent attack, she was left traumatised and alone—until she was adopted by a retired City Guard captain and trained to survive. Now she’s a Guard herself, grinding through patrols by day and slaying monsters in her off-hours, hoping to earn a place in the Adventurers Guild—even if her healing magic only works on herself.

Then a string of chance encounters sparks a change that reshapes her path—and her understanding of herself. With her sharp-tongued adoptive sister Libelle at her side, Sola earns a sponsorship for the Arena combat tournament, gains a mentor in Forensic Magic, and finds purpose in teaching survival skills to children. Slowly, she learns to face her fears and open up to others. And maybe—just maybe—she can find love too.
