In a world where magic is commonplace and capable of curing most ailments, a stark societal divide emerges for those afflicted with incurable mental illnesses. These individuals, labeled 'lunatics,' are confined to asylums, their sanity a distant hope.

Thirteen-year-old Janis faces a unique and devastating form of madness: Magic Deficiency Disorder. In a city where everyone wields magical power, Janis alone cannot.

This disability makes her a constant target for bullies, yet she bravely fights back, even in defeat. Her life takes a turn when Aidan Woolf, a formidable mage and police commander, intervenes, saving her from a brutal assault.

In Woolf, Janis finds a glimmer of hope and perhaps a protector in a world that has largely cast her aside.
