Hidden deep within a shifting forest that appears only to those with latent power, the Arcane Institute trains the next generation of supernatural leaders—mages, shapeshifters, seers, necromancers, and beings whose abilities defy classification. The school’s magic is ancient, alive, and sometimes hostile. Students aren’t just learning spells; they’re learning to survive the place that’s teaching them.
But when a long‑dormant prophecy begins to awaken, the Institute’s wards weaken, creatures from forgotten realms slip through, and a group of unlikely students discovers they may be the only ones who can stop a catastrophe tied to the school’s own origins.
