Aymas Laufie, a student at the Spirit Handler Training College, never expected his spirit to take the form of a mischievous fox-girl. Even worse, she flatly refuses the Obereg gem - the talisman meant to suppress her dangerous magic. With only a year to forge a bond before her power turns volatile enough to kill them both, Aymas faces an impossible task: convince Becki to accept the gem.
But Becki has her own priorities, and none of them involve being under someone’s control. Between her teasing antics, her curiosity about human life, and her refusal to play by the rules, Aymas finds himself torn between duty and feelings he’s not ready to admit. As time runs out, the question becomes clear: can he tame the fox spirit… or will she capture his heart instead?
