About This Book

The sharp crackle of spells fills the air, mingling with the scent of ancient books and flickering candlelight. Twelve-year-old Randal feels the rough texture of his wizard’s robe as he steps into the mysterious halls of the School of Wizardry. But beneath the magic’s shimmer, a shadow lurks—one that could change everything.
