About this book:

Kael Bennett thought his life was destined to be small, gray, and as underdone as his morning eggs—until a letter sealed in midnight ink upended everything. Summoned from his unremarkable attic in an unremarkable town to the Academy of Eldergrove, Kael discovers a world where trees write their own language, gates read the weight of your doubt, and magic courses through the stones beneath his feet. But the academy is not the escape he hoped it is. It is a place that remembers him—or rather, it remembers *what* he is.

Once inside, Kael learns he is no ordinary student. A brass key around his neck, a gift from a father who vanished into legends, has marked him as something the grove has been waiting for. When the Sorting Mirror glimpses his bloodline and refuses to release him from its visions, whispers spread among students and faculty alike: the Bennetts are bound to Eldergrove by roots that reach deeper than anyone dares to trace. Now Kael must navigate midnight duels, forbidden wings that whisper back where ignorance can cost him more than a grade—all whileing a secret his father left buried beneath centuries of myth.

*The Forgotten Academy of Eldergrove* is a spellbinding fantasy for readers who crave rich world-building, slow-burn mystery, and a hero who discovers that destiny is not about where you start—it's about which roots you're willing to follow, no matter where they lead.
