Into The Abyss: a dark magic academy fantasy

You are not enough.

Drees was twelve when the marsh water first moved for him. He was eighteen when his own magic nearly drowned him. He came back with salt water in his lungs and a voice scraping at the back of his skull, and it tells him the same thing, over and over.

The University takes only those who pass its trial, and after that asks only that they survive it. Its darkest master speaks only inside his students' minds. And when Drees turns out to have a gift for the dark, the University doesn't stop him.

It takes notes.

With friends who refuse to let him face it alone, and a fire mage chasing something he won't name, Drees will learn what the void can give. He will learn too late what the darkness takes in return.

Into The Abyss is a dark magic academy fantasy about power, its price, and the lie that more of it will ever be enough.
