Entrance Exam: Part 1

In the world of Serna, magic is well-known and well-studied. Those who wish to bend reality to their will come to Sigilspear University, the best mage's university on Serna.

Shadowcast follows Liza Hawken, an average girl from a small border town, who lies about herself to all of her new friends. This becomes harder and harder as close bonds are forged in the fires of academia. Perhaps if she lives this lie long enough, it will become the truth?

Oh, and there are also some side plots about angel-demon custody feuds, an adorable trans romance, the struggle of learning in a system built for "normal people," and the looming threat of a banished elder evil crawling back into reality.
