In the humble village of Brynwode, 11-year-old Osric Finch has lived a simple life, nurtured by the goddess Elowen's magic and the quiet rhythms of his family’s farm. But when his latent magical talent earns him an unexpected invitation to the prestigious—and mysterious—Ravenhurst Academy, his world is turned upside down. His peaceful village life left firmly behind him, Osric is thrown into a strange world of unspoken rules and crushing expectations.

Torn between his own desires, values and the inescapable demands of this new world, Osric must decide what kind of person to become. Will he embrace the destiny Ravenhurst has prepared for him, or forge his own path in defiance of the academy’s expectations? Ravenhurst Academy is a tale of magic, ambition, and the enduring struggle against societal norms.
