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.
