The Ancient Magus' Bride: Those Awaiting a Star

A solitary fifteen‑year‑old girl, abandoned and desperate, is purchased not by a human but by a mysterious fae sorcerer who offers her a chance at belonging. She becomes his apprentice, learning the arcane arts while slowly adjusting to a quiet domestic life that hints at something deeper between master and pupil.

When a peculiar Japanese picture book arrives from London, its pages echo the loneliness of her past and stir forgotten memories. The volume serves as a bridge to her earlier years, setting the tone for a gentle, mystical coming‑of‑age tale that blends folklore with tender romance, all while hinting at the enigmatic forces that will shape her destiny.
