Lorelei Kaskel, a sharp-tongued folklorist, embarks on a dangerous expedition to find a fabled spring with six eccentric nobles. The magical spring promises immense power, which the king seeks to secure his rule over Brunnestaad. Lorelei hopes to prove herself and become a naturalist, free to explore lands beyond her wildest dreams.

When their leader—Lorelei’s mentor—is murdered, suspicion falls on the remaining members. Lorelei's only ally is her academic rival, Sylvia von Wolff. Together, they must solve the murder, find the spring, and confront their growing attraction.

As they face treacherous forests, slumbering dragons, and shape-shifting beasts, they uncover dark secrets that make Lorelei question whether justice and saving the kingdom are truly worth it.
