The secret of Grafforia, hidden for centuries, is no longer a secret. Upon entering the territory of the country, every person acquires a magical gift: levitants can fly, puppeteers give life-like qualities to the inanimate, and ephemerals outpace even the cheetah… The source of these gifts is the white aurum, an ancient stone as old as the world, bestowing people with one of eight manifestations.
But what will happen if the miraculous white aurum is stolen right during a public festival, right under the nose of Ida Harsh, the capital's best detective? The stone will be taken beyond the borders of the country – there will be no more manifestations, the sacred essence of the graffs... And what will Irvelin, a pianist and hermit suspected of theft, do, since she returned to Grafforia right before the tragedy?
