Au sommet d'une montagne vivent les guerriers les plus puissants du monde, des surhommes capables de manier des lames de glace. Depuis des centaines d'années, les combattants de la péninsule de Kusanagi tiennent les ennemis de l'Empire à distance, ce qui a valu à leur bout de terre gelé le nom d'Épée de Kaigen. Lorsque les vents de la guerre commenceront à souffler, la famille Matsuda aura-t-elle la force de défendre les siens ? Ou ses membres s'entredéchireront-ils avant même que les vrais ennemis n'atteignent leurs côtes ?

For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry.
When Sciona finally achieves her ambition and becomes a Highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome--and instead of a qualified lab assistant they give her a janitor.
What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to finally understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland--and keep the privileged in power.
At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever--if it doesnt get them killed first.
