Summary
On her tenth birthday, Riventitia Herba, the young daughter of a northern baron, discovers a rare magical gift: Nullification—the ability to absorb any magic directed at her. Her family urges her to keep it secret. But just days later, an unexpected guest arrives from the capital.
Ars Pretium, a sickly boy with too many overwhelming powers, is the son of a duke and an imperial princess—and a child with a claim to the throne. Though he’s the same age as Riventitia, his body is small and frail; doctors say he doesn’t have long to live.
To survive, Ars needs her.
“What is it you want, Lord Pretium?”
“What I want…?”
“Yes. I want to know what you truly wish for.”
“…I want to live.”
When Ars takes her hand, he bursts into tears—because for the first time in his life, the pain is gone.
And so begins the quiet, extraordinary bond between a girl who absorbs magic and a boy overflowing with it.
A gentle story of magic, healing, and two hearts growing closer day by day.
