A New Fantasy Unfolds: The Sorcerer's Journey Begins

Mark your calendars! A new light novel titled "The Sorcerer's Apprentice: The Genius Girl's Quest for the Essence of Magical Civilization" is set to be released on May 30, 2025. This highly anticipated work comes from Ken Uchida, the acclaimed author of the "Isekai Cheat Magician", paired with captivating illustrations by Emu K.. It's up for pre-order now through GC Novels, a prominent light novel label helmed by Micro Magazine, Inc. based in Chuo, Tokyo.

Plot Overview

In a world where magic and books go hand in hand, the story follows Elicia, a librarian apprentice who has been granted the rare privilege to delve into the Forbidden Library alone, due to her remarkable talent and past achievements. Elicia has always enjoyed her magical research, thinking she could continue her studies freely. However, everything changes when she turns 15 and receives a divine decree naming her a "Sage"—a title that hasn't been conferred in centuries. Elicia is none too pleased about her newfound responsibility and prefers to retreat further into the library's depths, where she encounters a mysterious girl frozen in ice.

This marks the beginning of a grand adventure filled with magic, lost civilizations, and the pursuit of truth, led by a genius girl whose quest for knowledge is only beginning!
