And after 20 years of such devotion, he finally has his chance to confess when she suddenly wakes up! The manga, inspired by the steamy light novel, also available from Seven Seas.

Royal mage Lara Bradley and her foul-mouthed apprentice Alistair were tasked with defeating a low-risk monster, but what they found instead was an elder dragon hungry for their magical essence. Out of options and desperate to save her young charge, Lara plays decoy the only way she knows how: by turning herself to stone before she's swallowed whole.

Twenty years later, she awakens perfectly preserved in a world that has since moved on—except for Alistair. The troubled youth she once knew has grown into a powerful mage whose boyhood crush on his mentor has festered into an all-consuming obsession. Now, Lara must face the man whose love has become her greatest peril.
