When Jack Vance's grandfather is murdered, his dying words are to get Jack to promise to attend Darkthorn Academy.

Jack doesn't like it, but he'll do what is necessary to honor the man who raised him. But surviving Darkthorn Academy won't be easy. Jack will have to make alliances, learn to harness magic, and face dangerous enemies - both alive and dead. If he's lucky, he might just make it to second year.

Darkthorn Academy is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure with gamelit aspects, including a slightly overpowered MC, a dragon companion, and a team of adventurers. It’s inspired by games like Skyrim, Diablo 2 and Fallout.

A group of unlikely misfits join together to defeat their enemies and develop their personal strengths while becoming team. The references to stats gives the reader a D&D style RPG feel. From puns to using names of characters that may make your eyes roll a little “Chef Ramsey” the head chef for the Questers this was a fun distraction.

RPG-feel in a classic storyline

I’m mid 50’s but I love listening to coming of age series. I’ll be listening to all of them and saving them

Awesome

At the end of the first book I was angry that I had not downloaded the next one earlier. This book is well written and read. The hero’s journey theme is followed it it is not predictable. I can’t wait to start book 2!!!!

I enjoyed this one book very much and since book 2 is not on Audible yet, I cant enjoy that either. I want to know what's next and reading is not much of an option when you have this to do an cannot take the time to sit and read

enjoyed the book
