When Niri’s nuncle dies, the coal girl finds herself suddenly penniless and alone on the streets of Brightburgh.

Her already perilous situation is further complicated by her heritage – she’s half Aeldae, a descendant of the people who enslaved the humans of the Splinterlands centuries ago. This alone brands her as both an outcast and a target.

Clinging to a glimmer of hope, Niri possesses a special coin that will grant her admission into the prestigious Stormfell Academy, renowned for its magical and martial training.

However, her hopes are dashed when she learns that the coin only provides access to the Tower of Beggars. To truly benefit from the Academy, she must find a way to pay for the lessons.

Driven by desperation, she turns to the ruins at the foot of the Stormfell, combing through the remnants in the hopes of finding a way to escape her dire circumstances and change her fate…

I loved the story and the narrator. I am now sad the book is done. I wish the other books were available in English.

Great story

Story is a classic tale of has nothing and rises in an academy setting. What I like about this story is that it seems to be headed in a direction where the main character breaks the isolation. I think too often stories like to embrace a lonely tale of an individual with talent is recognized only to continue pushing others away.

The series is far along in its native German but there is not a release schedule I can find for English translation.

The narrator is male for a female MC but I think it fits in with the large amount of male characters.

Academy centered underdog tale

I really liked this book. Just when it would get really calm, it blasted off into excitement. It left me wanting more of it.

Enjoyed it!

It's not the 13th Paladin. But it's still Weitze's engrossing storytelling and Glidart Jackson's animated narration bringing the characters to life. 😊😊

Will be anxiously awaiting the next one

Absolutely loved this book! Kept my attention each and every moment- great characters, development, action, imagination. Good reader, too. My only disappointment is that the second in the series isn’t immediately available. Compliments to the author.

Stellar in every way!
