School of Magic Against Demons: The Thirty-Three Days

Thirty-three days. A Door that breathes. A father believed dead. At eleven, Maël Kernevez knows hospital hallways better than playgrounds. Then a mysterious message claims that his father is still alive. His scar begins to burn, and a countdown starts. Gabriel’s Celtic cross leads him to Avalenn, a school of magic hidden in Brittany. Unpredictable spellbooks, living walkways, a dining hall with four seasons, friendships and rivalries: at last, Maël discovers a life that is about more than his fragile heart. But the voices follow him. They know his memories and promise what he wants most. As day zero approaches, his father’s secrets and the scar on his chest become pieces of the same trap. With Lina, Léo, Yuna, Samir, and Rafael, Maël must learn which promises lead to danger, and ask for help before a Door turns him into its lock. Who can you trust when a trap speaks with the voice you long to hear? The Thirty-Three Days opens the seven-book fantasy saga School of Magic Against Demons - The Watchers of Avalenn.
