She was once an illiterate village girl scraping by on the edges of Aurelia. Now she is the youngest Cleric of the Megalith Academy of Light - Elise. In just two months, she has gone from nothing to a place within the ranks of the Church of Light. When she spoke up in the Tribunal for a commoner who had stolen a loaf of bread, it was pure compassion - witnessed by the entire hall - that carried her through her spiritual ascension. But that was only the beginning. Elise carries something no one else does: the knowledge of a previous life on Earth, and a System panel only she can see. With remembered fragments of modern medicine, she dares to challenge blood-warp sickness, an illness Aurelia has never been able to cure. Under her mentor's eye, she brews a brand-new potion on her eighth attempt. And when a Death Mage springs his trap, she stands her ground alone - and makes him pay for it. But the brighter she shines, the more eyes turn her way. The quiet war between the Secular and Sanctified factions within the Church. A Fourth-Tier Archmage of the Undying Court standing across from her in person. A standing bounty from a heretical cult. All of it is closing in. And behind every shadow, something far larger is taking shape - the legendary Convergence, said to come only once every thousand years, has arrived ahead of schedule. The merging of the spiritual plane with the material world will accelerate every Awakened's path beyond anything they have known. It will also drag the disciples of demons, plague, and ruin back into the streets. At eighteen, Elise has only just laid claim to a life she can truly call her own. She wants to save people. She wants to grow stronger. She wants to see what this continent really looks like.
