Emmie Lyland is a perfectly abnormal fifteen-year-old girl struggling to find her place in an ordinary world full of extraordinary magic.
When she returns to Ackley Institute, she quickly realizes it will be a school year unlike any other. With tensions running high across Andar, relationships between the regions and the students are quickly falling apart.
​
A hidden danger lurks outside the safety of the school walls, and Emmie and her friends are determined to uncover the mystery. When Ackley is attacked, Emmie realizes they are closer to the truth than they knew.
As the number of casualties grows, the country teeters on the brink of a civil war and they make a decision that could change their lives forever. But will it be enough to save her friends and prevent war? Or will the country be permanently changed by the unexpected magic?
​
Every Light Magical is born with a dark side.
Gray Mastiff believes there's nothing that could justify the use of Dark Magic. Until he must choose between opening himself to the darkness within or letting his brother die.
As a new term beings at Ackley Institute, Gray finds it difficult to resist using his Dark Magic, and the situation outside the school isn't helping. His best friends and father are missing and a Dark Magical named Damon has created an army that is wreaking havoc across Andar, driving the regions closer to war.
​
Will Gray find the inner strength save save those he loves and resist dark Magic's call? Or will he lose everything he cares about to the unleashed magic?
Neil Mastiff nearly sacrificed everything in the fight against Damon and his Dark Magic.
​Now the regions are attacking each other, people are dying, and Neil is chosen to become regent of Andar.​ Ivy Hart, his friend turned Sub-Dark, is setting the citizens against the monarchy and each other.
To prevent a civil war, Neil, and a newly-rescued Emmie, embark on a dangerous journey in search of the legendary Origin Elements to stop Ivy and the Sub-Darks once and for all. But as new truths are revealed, Neil struggles with what he thought he knew and who to trust.
To become a leader who can save his country, Neil must learn that true strength comes from relying on those around him. Can he master his new, untrained magic in time to protect the people he loves, or will he fall victim to the Dark Magic threatening to tear his home apart?
