Three-year-old Ars Louvent has the power to visualize the innate talents of others. One day he meets Rietz, a man of an undesirable social class but with incredible talents, only Ars can see. Can he overcome prejudice to take him into his retinue?

To prepare for the political turmoil ahead, Ars is now determined to recruit the most talented people he can find with the help of his Appraisal skill, and he's off to a larger town to see if he can scout someone with an aptitude for magic.

Ars has discovered someone with an extraordinary talent for magic, just as he'd hoped. The hitch is that she has no interest whatsoever in serving him. Can Ars win her over, much less help her out of the terrible predicament she's in?

Ars's quest to recruit more talent continues into the future, especially as his family grows and tensions begin mounting. Little does he know he may find it in the most unexpected places, or rather, the most unexpected people.

Things are looking grim around the Louvent estate as the political situation continues to deteriorate, but nothing could prepare Ars for the storm that's about to blow in—the fiancée he didn't know he had!

Raven's condition takes a turn for the worse as the worst comes to pass politically. The governor has been assassinated, meaning the local lords must now brace for war. Can Ars lead House Louvent in his ailing father's stead?
