As tendrils rise and the sky turns blood-red, the trio must confront the growing terror before it spills out into the city. A tale of courage, sacrifice, and eldritch dread set against the lush backdrop of Brisbane's iconic gardens.

Elara Ravenshade has always known she was different. In a world where magic is outlawed and feared, whispers of forbidden power have haunted her dreams and ignited her imagination. Trapped in a mundane life in her isolated village, she longs for a destiny that feels just out of reach.
When a mysterious letter arrives on her doorstep, summoning her to the legendary Academy of Nyx, Elara is thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient secrets. The Academy, hidden deep within the Forbidden Forest, is a training ground for those born with magic-a gift Elara never truly understood but now must master to survive.
As she navigates the Academy's treacherous halls, Elara discovers she is more than just a student. She is the key to a prophecy that could either heal their fractured world or destroy it entirely.
