Requiem: Vanar University of Magic (Tales of The Five Realms: Vanar University of Magic Book 1)

Secret societies. Ghosts and demons on campus. Conflicting jobs as a double agent. She’s going to hell before the end. Young rebel, Hagar, has earned a scholarship to study magic. But if someone gets their way, she won’t see the end of her first year. Hagar’s old friend and crush, Noq, is at Vanar too. He’s up to something, and he won’t tell her what. There’s romantic potential with the intelligent and handsome Jude, but with all his secrets and a needless interest in forbidden dark magic, that may not be a good idea. And there’s an invitation to join Requiem, a prestigious secret mage society. Hagar should feel honoured. But is Requiem all that it appears to be? Things start to unravel with conflicting work as a double agent and something dark and hidden in a past life that’s coming back to haunt her. The campus that has become her happy place is going to witness an unleashed evil. Before the end, Hagar will look into hell itself, and she’ll discover that sometimes even loved ones can’t be trusted... This new fantasy romantic thriller is ideal for fans of dark academia, magic, secret societies, witches, wizards, sorcerers, and mages. Add to that a diverse cast, blossoming romances between student mages, and an exciting end battle against evil. Suitable for 14+ YA, NA, and adult readers. This is a full-length novel that can be read as a standalone, or as the first in a series set in the Five Realms, a world of supernatural phenomena where light fighters push back against shade, and the Dark. Reader responses: This was a fascinating and memorable story that took me on such an exciting adventure. This was a whole new world of magic and mystery to explore that created that same sense of addiction in me. Your descriptions of various characters were great. I loved the diversity of your characters, there were no bounds to it. If this story is adapted to a movie one day, it will be great to see. I see a wonderful future for this book. Hagar’s conflicting assignments and goals create a story full of suspense and intrigue. It is a new spin on a boarding school story with a diverse and compelling cast.
