Interesting magical mystery with new adult relationship content.
Three best friends, Raven, Atticus, and Dorian, want more than anything to attend the Sibylline University to learn about magic. They’re devastated when they’re denied enrollment. They come up with a plan together, gain employment at Sibylline and learn whatever they can while they’re working around the magical students, professors, books and buildings. Atticus can sense emotions and is hired as an architect assistant. Raven can translate any language and is hired to help in the university library. Dorian can read items and he’s hired as an art detective to discover forgeries. They get pulled into a dangerous mystery that’s putting the university in danger and it’s going to take wise use of their skills to keep the three friends alive.
