The Sweetest Sabotage of Porto Zeffa

Pellita Marno is thrilled to receive a mysterious crate of highly volatile Snap-Peppers on the first day of her final exams at the Zeffa Culinary Conservatory. Assuming it’s a generous gift from a secret admirer, the kind-hearted baker whips up a legendary spicy jam - completely oblivious that her childhood best friend, Briska, sent the peppers to blow up her kitchen. Briska has bound herself to the Fate-Siphoning System, tasked with stealing Pellita’s luck by making her fail every major exam. But the system's insidious rumors are laughed off by Pellita's fiercely loyal friends, and its lethal traps only help Pellita accidentally impress Casimir, the academy's notoriously grumpy prodigy. What Briska missed in the fine print is the System's strict thirty-day trial period: if the host fails to steal the target's destiny in time, the system automatically reports them to the royal guard for magical fraud. As the final exam approaches and Pellita continues to kill her rivals with kindness, will Briska's escalating desperation finally crack Pellita's sunny disposition, or is the cheating system about to serve up cold, hard justice?
