Henrietta Howel is a 16-year-old girl living in Brimthorn in UsefulNotes/{{England}} with a secret, she has the [[PlayingWithFire ability to control fire]]. However, any girl who displays magic powers is automatically branded a witch and killed on-sight. This has been how witches were treated since Mary Willoughby opened up a portal to allow [[EldritchAbomination The Ancients]] (no, not [[VideoGame/EternalDarkness those ancients]]) into the world, which humanity's had to fight ever since.

When her power [=DOES=] get discovered, however, she instead finds she's actually a sorceress, maybe the one prophesied to actually beat the ancients. So, she and her friend Rook are whisked away to the city of UsefulNotes/{{London}}, where she is to begin her magic training proper under the tutelage of Master Agrippa, alongside several male classmates.
