Enrol at Neverthorn and immerse yourself in this spellbinding fantasy, perfect for fans of the Zodiac Academy and Fourth Wing series . . . ‘This is going to be YOUR NEXT obsession’ 5* Reader Review ‘Neverthorn was my most anticipated read of 2025.

Where a bunch of magical school misfits are about to save the world. Or, more likely, die trying . . . Since dropping out of Neverthorn Academy, after the death of her mother, Harlow Daygon has been working as an enchanted-jewel thief. The last thing she expects is for the school to make an offer she can’t refuse: come back to Neverthorn and join seven others with secret magical abilities in House Phoenix. There, they’ll be trained in potions, rune casting and combat. Because Nocta – a powerful dark wizard who has been plaguing the magical realm for decades – has the mortal world in his sights, and the students of House Phoenix are all that stand in his way. But Harlow failed at Neverthorn once before. And nothing reminds her of this more than tall, brooding Typhon – Harlow’s old classmate and nemesis – who is now the professor tasked with unlocking her own, special power. Except Harlow is sure that Typhon and the other professors are hiding a dark secret. One she must figure out before Nocta arrives to bring about the end of the world . . . Tropes: Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Chosen One Found Family Slow Burn Forced Proximity Older FMC Professor x Student Secret/Hidden Identity Praise for Neverthorn:- 'If you like your heroes messy, your professors brooding, and your fantasies dark, Neverthorn is for you. Prepare to fall. Hard.

Dark academia gets a savage, spellbinding twist?and Harlow Daygon is the chaotic queen we didn’t know we needed' K. F. Breene, USA Today bestselling author of the Shadowspell Academy series

    Welcome to Neverthorn Academy.

    Where a bunch of magical school misfits are about to save the world.

    Or, more likely, die trying . . .

    Since dropping out of Neverthorn Academy, after the death of her mother, Harlow Daygon has been working as an enchanted-jewel thief.

    Because Nocta – a powerful dark wizard who has been plaguing the magical realm for decades – has the mortal world in his sights, and the students of House Phoenix are all that stand in his way.

    But Harlow failed at Neverthorn once before. And nothing reminds her of this more than tall, brooding Typhon – Harlow’s old classmate and nemesis – who is now the professor tasked with unlocking her own, special power.

    Except Harlow is sure that Typhon and the other professors are hiding a dark secret.

    One she must figure out before Nocta arrives to bring about the end of the world . . .

    • Chosen One
    • Found Family
