For centuries, the ravens have circled the void—and waited.

Blackwood Academy and Revemere were never meant to touch. Two realms divided by lore, loss, and a gap no magic could close. Generation after generation, the Academy’s scholars guarded secrets the other world only dreamed of. On the far shore, Revemere held its breath. And above them both, the ravens kept watch, as if they alone knew what—or who—would finally span the distance.

That someone is Rune Blackwood.

Born of bloodlines the histories tried to erase, Rune is no mere student. She is the bridge both realms have prayed for and one man has spent a lifetime trying to prevent. With her stand the loyal of Blackwood—teachers, allies, and outcasts who refuse to see the Academy fall. With her rise echoes from the past: powers and presences long thought buried, called back when the worlds teeter on the edge of ruin.

Arrayed against them is Thaddeus Blackwood—calculating, relentless, and hungry for the Academy’s heart. He does not want unity. He wants dominion: to break Blackwood, seize its magic, and rewrite the fate of two worlds in his name. If he succeeds, the bridge becomes a weapon. Revemere stays forever out of reach. And the ravens’ long vigil ends in ash.

The prophecy is over. The war has begun.

Will Rune and her people—and the allies time itself sends back—save Blackwood Academy, or will Thaddeus claim everything they were built to protect?

The Ravens will fly.
