Shadowmancy
At a school for magic where the impossible is taught, one student must confront a treacherous legacy.
From his first day at the Academy, things are difficult for Quay. Though he has surrendered his name, like every other acolyte, Quay is the son of a disgraced professor, and he finds that his father’s old enemies are already lined up against him—while the professor’s own faction is just as suspicious. Quay refuses to take a side, but as his powers grow it becomes apparent that the damaged young boy may prove a greater threat than his father ever was.
Deep in the Library of Shadows, Quay finds a way to survive his father’s treacherous legacy, but the price is high indeed. This urban fantasy is perfect for young adults and adults interested in magical schools and dark themes. Will Quay overcome his family's shadow, or will he succumb to the darkness within?
