In a world where witches are not very rare, the most dreaded of them all are the bone witches, who are able to resurrect the dead and control the daeva, legendary monsters that reappear at regular intervals. Tea is not sure which type of witch she will grow into, but since all her sisters are witches she's sure to become one of them. Fox, her favorite older brother, who left to fight in the kingdom's wars, is returned home to be buried, and in her grief Tea brings him back to life with a power she didn't know she has.

Scorned by the people of her village, she is quickly entrusted to Mykaela, the last of the bone witches, so she can be trained in the proper arts of Ashas, those who are able to wield the magic of the elements. Accompanied by Fox, they travel to the kingdom's capital city to begin her apprenticeship. Agents of the Dark Prince, who first created the daeva out of dark magic, are creating chaos and spreading death, and Tea soon finds herself having to put her training to the test.

With the forces of the Dark Prince preparing for war, Tea finds herself faced with two distinct paths to follow... Fans of fantasy in an Asian setting will appreciate the world Cupecho created.
