Epic Fantasy Adventure with Forbidden Academy Romance: The Source of Magic (Academy of Falling Kingdoms, Book 1)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A perfect storm of intrigue, battles, and forbidden love—fantasy at its best.” – Naomi V.

I can speak to demons. The punishment is death.

The mission: put on a dress, pretend to be a lady, and infiltrate the academy of mages to steal a journal from the forbidden archives.

The problem: I’m no mage, and I’ve never worn a dress in my life.

But it’s not like I have a choice. My bastard of an uncle basically sold me to a dangerously pretty nobleman, and they can’t pull off this heist without me. Unfortunately, once I fake my way through the entrance exam with a piece of hacked mage tech and reach the floating kingdom of Reverie, my problems are only just beginning.

Keeping my secret identity is hard enough without a suspicious prince following me around, and the jealous rich girl who wants to marry him is threatening me at every turn. But I know I’m in real trouble when my magic sword starts to talk to me.

If I can survive the demon attacks, the backstabbing nobles, and the piles of homework long enough, I may discover the source of magic...and if the truth gets out, it will shatter everything.
