Elara sacrificed her youth and magical stability to elevate her boyfriend Evan at the premier sorcery academy, exhausting her spiritual reserves until chaotic recoil warped her once-radiant countenance. Instead of gratitude, Evan sneered at her physical scars and cast her aside for Seraphina, a scheming rival who shamelessly plundered Elara's elixirs. Even the corrupt academy archons diverted Elara's life-saving remedies to maintain Seraphina's sparkling public image.
Guided by the enigmatic Moonlight Archmage, Elara refuses to let her light be stolen. She journeys into the abyss of volcanic peaks to bathe her broken anatomy in primeval dragonflame, slaying the dark beast and ingesting its blazing heartstone. Reforged with devastating elemental supremacy and breathtaking beauty, Elara returns to the academy tournament to incinerate the hypocrites who drained her soul.
