The sorcerer's young beautiful wife struggles with her constant resentment towards herself and others around her for ruining her education prematurely, while their daughters endure the battles with menarche, societal pressure for marriage and their parents' discord. Meanwhile the sorcerer's younger brother joins a slow youth revolution that targets the political party that rules the district and which was formed under the religious banner funded by his own sorcerer brother.
