Synopsis:

After a disastrous encounter with a nobleman, Myne finally decides to say goodbye to her family and friends in the lower city, changing her name to “Rozemyne” and starting a new life as the adopted daughter of the Archduke of Ehrenfest. However, her days as an aristocratic noble in noble society are brutal, with rigorous training in etiquette and magic, in addition to her responsibilities as High Bishop and supervisor. All this would be too much for a frail seven-year-old girl… or so it would be, if the High Priest hadn't offered her the keys to the temple's book room as a reward. With access to these treasures, she could read many precious books! Although her name has changed, Rozemyne's passion for books remains the same as she faces this new world. The detailed setting expands as the printing industry grows. Thus begins Part 3 of this biblio-fantasy made for book lovers everywhere!
