Summary

Calliona was feared as the wicked sorceress who betrayed humanity and tried to bring the world to ruin. To Liriope, however, she had once been everything — a sister she loved, a presence inseparable from her own life. Until the day Calliona crushed her mercilessly… and died. But at the very end, in their final meeting, Calliona had done the unthinkable: she sacrificed herself to save Liriope. Only her broken corpse ever returned. Liriope could not accept it. She would not. And in that moment of denial, a voice called out from the darkness: “At last, I’ve found you. My final contractor.” Suddenly, time itself unraveled. Liriope opened her eyes — not to a world in ruins, but to the past. To the day she and her sister first stood before the Magician’s Tower to take the exam that would decide their fates.
