Forever the shame of the magik academy. In a world where the supernatural flow of magik is as common as the air to breathe, she is talentless and hopelessly lacking in ability---that is until a Demon’s ancient text falls into her hands.

With the aid of a strange group of friends, they venture out attempting to decipher its contents.

Before they realize it, the world as they know it has begun to suffer from demonic assaults with death as the only release from the chaos. 

It’s a race against the clock and the sands of time are running out.

Can they decipher the forbidden secrets in time or will they be doomed to join the immortal army of perdition in the afterlife?

The Disabled Mage at the Topaz Academy of Magikal Arts

The second time I woke up, I was in darkness.

There was no one around me, but my hands were still tied to the bed.  Someone had changed me out of my traveling outfit and had put me in a hospital gown, so at least I was comfortable in that respect.

I looked around.  Other than the usual monitors that were attached to me, there was nothing that looked dangerous.

My life signs must have changed from sleeping to waking because a door opened and an orderly walked in.

He was either a mage or a human, but he definitely was not a primate.

"Good evening, Princess Nana.  You're finally awake."

"Where am I?" I croaked.  My throat felt so raw and abused from all that screeching that I did earlier.

"You're safe.  Would you like a drink?"

I nodded, not trusting my voice to work.

He took a cup from the side table and held it so I could take a sip.  I swallowed and then grimaced.
