ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes viros. fire tests gold, adversity tests strong men. (or in this case, strong women). ~~~ In a world where money, power, and supernatural abilities reign supreme, Airi Nakamura and her family are at the top of the food chain. The nineteen year old is on track to become the first female co-President of her family's multi-billion dollar technology company, with her childhood best friend, Kaito, at her side. Her life is perfectly planned out, and she's more than ready to live it out to the fullest. But when you're at the top, there's always at least a thousand other people ready to bring you to your knees, using whatever means possible. Adversity tests strong women, but is Airi strong enough to get through the tests of her own mind?
