Welcome to Neverthorn Academy - where magical misfits might just save the world. Or die trying.
Since dropping out after her mother's death, Harlow Daygon has made a living as an enchanted-jewel thief.
But when Neverthorn calls her back, she can't refuse.
Recruited to House Phoenix alongside seven other students with secret powers, Harlow must master potions, rune casting, and combat.
Because the dark wizard Nocta has his sights set on both the magical realm and the mortal world.
Harlow failed at Neverthorn once. Now, her brooding old rival - Professor Typhon - is the only one who can help unlock her true power.
Except Harlow is sure that Typhon and the other professors are hiding a dark secret.
One she must figure out before Nocta arrives to bring about the end of the world . . .
