Plot Summary:
Chise Hatori, a 15-year-old girl shunned by society and even her own family, is sold at an underground auction. But instead of cruelty, she finds mystery — as she’s purchased by the non-human sorcerer Elias Ainsworth, who intends to make her both his apprentice… and his bride. In a world filled with dragons, fairies, spirits, and pain, Chise begins to learn not just magic, but how to live, love, and be loved.
