Story Summary
Elizabeth Leiston, the daughter of an influential prime minister, has lived a perfect life as someone destined to become the queen of the Haldoria empire — until her fiancé publicly calls off their engagement in front of a crowd. He then has her imprisoned and spreads malicious rumors to further tarnish her reputation.
Fueled by the steadfast support of her loyal friend Mireille and the burning rage that has long simmered within her, Elizabeth resolves to completely change course. She refuses to dedicate herself any further to a country that showed her no respect, and instead sets out to bring down every last person who wronged her and to destroy that very kingdom. Fortunately, she happens to possess seven extraordinarily powerful grimoires at her disposal.
