A decade after her royal father was assassinated and an ancient curse wiped her childhood memories, Princess Mabel survives as Beatrice, an impoverished tavern girl. Relying on an instinctive alchemy talent, she crafts a revolutionary healing potion that secures first prize in the Magehand Academy trials. Her triumph turns to tragedy when her own twin brother, Prince Henry, plunders her formula and leaves her bleeding in an alley.
Henry has no idea the peasant girl he robbed is his long-lost twin sister, but the dark sorcerer who orchestrated their father's regicide knows precisely who she is. As assassins descend to snuff out her life before her memories awaken, Beatrice fights through the academy ranks with forbidden alchemical elixirs. She must unlock her royal bloodline to expose the palace traitors.
