Babylon, the prestigious Royal Institute of Translation at Oxford University, is a global center not only of translation but also of magic. It is here that silver bars are enchanted, revealing meanings lost in translation. This unique power granted the British Empire unprecedented power, and Babylon's research into translation and foreign languages ​​enabled the development of a far-reaching foreign policy. Robin Swift spent years studying languages ​​to gain admission to the Royal Institution. For him, studying at Oxford is a utopia filled with knowledge.

Now he faces a choice... But is it possible to change powerful institutions from within without violence, or does revolution always require sacrifice?
