Noelle is living the dream! Not so long ago, she had nowhere to turn after losing her awful job at the exploitative Mages’ Guild. But one day, she had a lucky run-in with her old friend Luke, an extremely talented royal court magician. Now she works at the royal court too, and it’s even better than she hoped it would be! Her coworkers are friendly, she gets to flex her muscles as a magician, and she’s been rising through the ranks almost as fast as Luke himself. It isn’t all smooth sailing, though. Noelle has already dealt with assassins, goblin hordes, and more—all while trying to adapt to the new environment of the royal capital. With a dragon waiting at her front door, it doesn’t look like her life is getting any quieter. How will she handle intimidating new opponents, such as a strict university professor and an elite swordsman? And what does Luke have planned for him and Noelle...?
