Alex Roth’s life changed on his eighteenth birthday when he was marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the ancient enemy known as the Ravener. Branded with "The Fool"—the worst of the marks—Alex rejected the divine decree and fled to the University of Generasi to become a wizard.

Accompanied by his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex continues his magical education while researching the mysteries of the Ravener. He must contend with the Mark’s restrictions on learning traditional spells while finding clever ways to exploit its unique benefits.

The light novel adaptation features original interior illustrations by Japanese artist Natsujirushi.
