**Power through sacrifice—at Ravenhurst Academy, this isn’t just a motto.**

In the heart of the British Empire, where towering spires pierce the heavens and the gods are revered as guardians of progress, Ravenhurst Academy stands as the pinnacle of elite magical education. Here, the brightest talents are forged into mages, wielders of extraordinary spells destined to shape the Empire’s future. But power is not without its price.

When Osric Finch, a boy from the humble village of Brynwode, is plucked from obscurity and thrust into Ravenhurst’s grand halls, he finds himself swept up in a whirlwind of secret societies, political undercurrents, and friendships tested in the crucible of power.

Yet beneath the Academy’s gilded halls lies an unspoken truth—a sacred trial that will bind every student to a destiny they cannot escape. As hidden forces stir and rivalries flare, Osric will face challenges that test not only his magical abilities but also his sense of identity, loyalty, and belonging.

Intrigue, danger, and moral dilemmas weave through this spellbinding tale. Ravenhurst Academy is perfect for fans of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and The Amulet of Samarkand.
