In the Shadow of the Summer

Since that fateful night many months ago, you've been suffering beyond everyone's comprehension. When you're not plagued by horrific nightmares forcing you to relive the death of your beloved Professor Fig over and over again, you're trying to manage the ever growing concern that comes with honing Isidora's dark magic.
