Ever-cheerful Vivienne Esme Willow has forgotten the sweet summer friend who vanished from her life five years ago. Theodore Zephyr Oberlin certainly hasn't. He never would.
When they both enroll in the prestigious Royal Academy of Swordsmanship and Magic, Theodore expects a joyful reunion. Instead, he finds Vivienne completely infatuated with another boy. Heartbroken and bitter, Theodore buries his pain in his studies, skyrocketing to the top of the academy's ranks.
For Vivienne, losing her barely gotten academic standing to a brilliant, mocking stranger is unacceptable. Driven to reclaim her spot, she pushes herself to the absolute limit, closing the gap right behind him. But Theodore isn't backing down. Every encounter becomes a battle of sharp words, escalating into a vicious cycle of elaborate pranks and ruthless taunts.
As their academic war threatens to consume them both, lines begin to blur. Can a childhood bond survive the fires of rivalry, or will their competition destroy the very memories that connect them?
