The Missing Magic of Sparrow Xia (Zenith Academy Series, Book 1)

A brand-new, highly illustrated magic school series to obsess over! Step into a high-stakes world where magic defines everything—until it starts to vanish.

About the Book: In a world dependent on magic, there is a catch: everyone’s powers fade away before they reach adulthood. For young Sparrow Xia, the pressure to develop her pitifully limited fire mage abilities at the prestigious Zenith Academy is crushing. Living in the shadow of her older brother Ainsley—whose exceptionally powerful magic left a permanent burn scar on Sparrow’s cheek—only raises the stakes. Sparrow is desperate to ignite her true potential and finally make her family proud.

At Zenith, Sparrow does find unexpected strength and loyal friends, but academy life quickly brings more dangerous questions than answers. When a mysterious illness breaks out across the school, rapidly draining students of their dwindling powers, Sparrow and her friends are pulled into a perilous investigation. They soon discover a chilling truth: in a world where magic is currency, some will go to terrifying lengths to hold onto it. Will Sparrow risk her future to save others, and will she realize that her magic isn't the most important thing about her?
