The Thorne Awakening: The system was never meant to hold

By Silas Black

What if magic was never meant to awaken again?

When seventeen-year-old Caelan Vey is taken to the hidden Blackthorn Academy after surviving a terrifying supernatural storm, he discovers a world of forbidden resonance magic, buried secrets, and ancient forces hidden beneath the mountains.

But Blackthorn was never just a school.

Deep below the Academy lies a forgotten city, a living Heart pulsing beneath the earth, and a growing corruption known as the Veinblight. As students begin changing and violent storms consume the valley, Caelan realizes the power awakening inside him may be connected to something ancient beneath the oceans-something waiting for the world to remember it again.

Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, A Deadly Education, Ninth House, and dark fantasy filled with cosmic horror, mystery, and cinematic magic, The Thorne Awakening is the gripping first installment in The Blackthorne Academy series.
