Estelle, a renowned mage, left her family eight years ago to embark on a mission from which she might never return. During all those years, her son Astra has trained for the day he could finally begin his own journey through this magical world and find his mother again. Along the way, fantastic creatures await him—mermaids, slimes, dragons, and many other wonders hidden across the world. But something darker is also moving beneath the surface: a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the balance of the world itself.
