Whisked away to a secret academy where spells shimmer in the air and mythical creatures roam the grounds, Elias must uncover the truth about his past, master his growing powers, and face the sinister force known only as the Hidden. As danger creeps closer, Elias realizes he's not just a student of magic—he may be its final hope.
