In a world where monsters emerge from mysterious portals called Breaches, humanity''''s only defense are the magically gifted warriors known as Slayers. Fifteen years ago, a young girl woke in a hospital bed with no memories of who she was or where she came from. With no identification and no one to claim her, the doctors named her Eris Kane and sent her to Serenity Home Orphanage. There, she found both cruelty and kindness—bullied for being "the girl with no past" but fiercely protected by an older boy named Vance Cross. He became her shield, her teacher, and her only friend. When Vance left for the prestigious Slayer Academy at seventeen, he promised to return for her. He never did. Now twenty-two, Eris has finally awakened as a Slayer herself, assigned the rare and demanding Battle Mage class that requires mastery of both melee and magical combat. While other new Slayers can focus on honing a single fighting style, Eris must split her training between two disciplines, leaving her perpetually behind her peers despite her relentless efforts. When a routine mission goes catastrophically wrong, Eris finds herself face-to-face with the now legendary S-rank Shadow Assassin, Vance Cross—cold, distant, and nothing like the boy she once idolized. Their tense reunion is only the beginning, as Eris discovers a hidden ability to absorb power from the monsters she defeats, gradually uncovering fragments of her forgotten past. As Breaches grow more frequent and dangerous across Sanctum City, Eris must navigate her complicated feelings for Vance, master her challenging Battle Mage abilities, and unravel the mystery of her own identity. The truth she seeks may be more dangerous than any monster emerging from the Breaches—and some forgotten memories are better left buried.
