Second generation con woman and all-around thief Remi Wilde joined the Hundred Halls-the world's only magical university-in hopes of learning the right spells to pull off a dangerous heist. But rather than one of the less scrupulous Halls, she ends up in Aura Healers, known for its public service and healing arts.

Remi isn't dissuaded, and prepares to turn this setback into an advantage as she steals from the school's ample alchemy supplies to fund her artifact hunting mission. The only problem is one of her fellow students, a try-hard werewolf with a god complex, is doing everything he can to get in her way.

As the already chaotic hospital gets overrun with patients suffering from a strange madness, the handsome werewolf asks for Remi's help-and her thieving skills-to find out who's really behind the chaos. Their journey leads them into the darker corners of the university, and reveals a plot against the city that will force her to choose her true destiny.
