It takes place at the most elite sports academy in the land, where the best child-athletes are sent to hone their skills. When Rovi and Pretia arrive, each harboring a secret about themselves, they begin to suspect that something malicious is at play at the school. In the course of their first year, they must learn to master their grana in order to save the world"--Back cover.
