Wishful Intentions

After the creator of magic, Kibou, died, a powerful and dangerous spell called “The Final Wish” was left behind. Unable to destroy it, his council locked this magic away by creating a series of almost impossible trials and banned the use of magic so no one could ever complete them. Hundreds of years later, the Aisling government kills anyone associated with magic. In this world, magic is a learned skill, however, there are a small few, known as Naturals, that were born with the forbidden art, and are the strongest magic users in Aisling.

One such Natural, Nigel, unknowingly unlocks the first trial and enlists the help of child soldiers, who possess greater magical abilities than adults, to unlock the rest with the promise that each child is granted one wish each. On the other side of the country lives Gray, a cat who has secluded himself from the rest of the world after a near-death experience with the Natural Lust. It’s here he raises his younger brother Cipher, who, unbeknownst to Gray, is working for Nigel. One day, a runaway named Asta shows up on Gray’s doorstep looking for shelter. While Gray adjusts to having a stranger living with him, Asta does everything in her power to keep her past a secret but might not be able to as she gets a little too close to the truth about Gray.
