Rudeus enrolled in the University of Magic to unravel the secrets of the calamitous Fittoa Displacement Incident, but his fellow students present problems of their own. The super-strong, super strange Prince Zanova is absolutely terrible at spells, despite Rudeus’s tutoring, and an unexpected hunt for a magic craftsman leads to a slave market. There, in the hopeless eyes of a dwarven child, Rudeus sees an echo of his old self. His resolve to save her from despair and give her a reason to live.
