The story follows the Kingdom of Amelia, which monopolizes sorcerers and expands its territory using supernatural power, posing a threat to the small nation of Campusfellow. Lord Bud of Campusfellow takes unprecedented action: he plans to gather the seven notorious witches scattered across the continent to counter Amelia. When news arrives that the Mirror Witch has been captured in the neighboring country of Lowe, Bud sets off with his attendants, including Rollo, a boy raised as an assassin known by the nickname “Black Dog.” Thus begins a grand and ruthless dark fantasy.
