The Academy is open.
The magic is warm.
And Shadowick is no longer content to wait.
Maeve Bellemore has settled into her unexpected life as headmistress of Stonewick’s magical Academy, complete with opinionated goblins, unruly magic, endless tea, and a found family she never saw coming.
But beyond the glowing Wards, something stirs...
The High Priestess of Shadowick grows restless, and Maeve can feel the pull in her bones. Not all of Shadowick is cruel… yet not all of it can be trusted. As old magic awakens and the Academy leans closer to life, Maeve must decide how much of herself she’s willing to risk to protect the cozy world she’s built.
Because the Academy isn’t just a school.
It’s a crossroads.
And the next choice Maeve makes could change everything.
