Summary

I can speak to demons. The punishment is death.

The mission: put on a dress, pretend to be a lady, and infiltrate the academy of mages to steal a journal from the forbidden archives.

The problem: I’m no mage, and I’ve never worn a dress in my life.

But it’s not like I have a choice. My bastard of an uncle basically sold me to a dangerously pretty nobleman, and they can’t pull off this heist without me. Unfortunately, once I fake my way through the entrance exam with a piece of hacked mage tech and reach the floating kingdom of Reverie, my problems are only just beginning.

Keeping my secret identity is hard enough without a suspicious prince following me around, and the jealous rich girl who wants to marry him is threatening me at every turn. But I know I’m in real trouble when my magic sword starts to talk to me.

If I can survive the demon attacks, the backstabbing nobles, and the piles of homework long enough, I may discover the source of magic...and if the truth gets out, it will shatter everything.

The Academy of Falling Kingdoms series is a young adult fantasy adventure full of monsters, murder, and romantic intrigue. Fans who enjoyed Rachel Carter’s Black Mage series and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy will love this sprawling magic academy!

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. The world building was done well and the story was interesting.
 
Wynter is essentially rented to a mage where she is expected to pretend to have magic in order to steal for him at the academy. There, Wynter discovers secrets that put her in greater danger than the one she's already trying to keep hidden. I loved the dynamic between Wynter and Lucien. I really hope they come to work together as the series progresses.
 
Carrie Coello does an amazing job narrating this story.

WOW - a joy to listen to

What a brilliant start to this new fantastical series. It is unlike anything I have read before and I was transfixed from the very beginning. The characters are brought to life by such wonderfully imaginative writing, I would definitely recommend this amazing book and cannot wait to listen to the next one.

The extremely talented narrator really suits the characters with distinctive voices for each individual.
