Three years have passed since Claudia’s “death.” Her body, beautiful and untouched by decay, sleeps in a black coffin filled with flowers and shows no signs of awakening. Noah, now nineteen and the future chief conjurer, clings to Claudia’s promise to someday return and devotes himself to finding a way to bring her back. But when Claudia finally awakens, she isn’t in her black coffin, but a new one of transparent glass. Finding herself in a world unlike the one she left behind, she encounters a young man who resembles Noah but coldly spurns her. He introduces himself as Leonhard and insists on calling her “Adelheid.” As Claudia struggles to make sense of this unfamiliar world, she’ll uncover the hidden truth of her birth. Meanwhile, another force begins to stir: Sieghart, now free from three years’ mourning for his father, moves to claim Claudia for his own.
