Ciel has marked Star, And Alois remembers nothing of her. But what happens when Alois comes face to face with the one emotion he can't take? Will he make the same mistakes? And is Ciel willing to possibly lose his family birth rights for the one he loves?

In a world on the verge of scientific discovery, the old ways of mysticism are no longer upheld in society. Sorcerers and magicians are persecuted in the greatest purge in history; a bloody civil war where the side with the greater numbers will emerge victorious. This is a time for alchemists and scientists, explorers and scholars. A time for rogues and assassins, political strife and corruption among kings and noblemen. A new age is over the horizon, but just who will survive this grand transition, this bloody divide, is uncertain. For when science and magic collide, no one is safe.
