Born and raised as an orphan, Kaden Chalson never dreamed that he would one day become part of anything prestigious. But it happens now: he is told, right outside of his house, that he is soon to enter the great Halpest School of Witchcraft.

Kaden soon learns that his parents, whom he never knew, belonged to an aristocratic family in the ancient world of magic. But how did they die? What were their lives like? He very much wants to find out.

And what hides in the dark, mysterious spruce forest on the campus? Together with his best friend Mick Boost, Kaden is set to discover the secrets.
