Synopsis：At an academy where misfits are forced to take the familiars no one else wants, Faye ends up bound to a “useless” bear that can’t even manage a basic spell. But when a noble girl steals the creature away, Faye discovers the impossible—both of them share memories of a past life buried beneath an endless winter curse. Now, surrounded by enemies, ridiculed for her bloodline, and tied to an abandoned fox everyone calls defective, Faye clings to a single rule: survive long enough to uncover why her former companion has returned…and what terrifying secret these so‑called worthless beasts are hiding.
