White-Winged Harpy
White-Winged Harpy is a web novel by Isora Matsuri. It takes place in the same universe as Izora’s previous series Silent Witch. Although it is not necessary to read that beforehand, I recommend you do read it and its sequel, Silent Witch Gaiden, first to get the whole experience. You can read Silent Witch here and Gaiden here.
Summary
At the Wedge Tower, where any and all magical knowledge is gathered, the mages of the Empire collaborate and compete, and once every three years, they recruit new apprentice mages.
“I want to fly.”—Tia, a young girl who aspires to be a mage for that reason alone, challenges the Wedge Tower’s entrance examination.
This is a story of mages, and of monsters on the brink of extinction.
