Ayumi Kisaragi is a college student who has always been a passionate reader, seeking refuge from her mundane life in the world of books. One day, while browsing through a quaint, forgotten bookstore, she discovers an ancient, hand-written novel called The Tale of Everwood. As she begins to read, Ayumi finds herself magically transported into the novel’s world—a beautiful but dangerous medieval kingdom where magic exists, and the boundaries between fiction and reality blur.
