Witches And Wizards by Ben Hart at Inkitt

Summary

**WITCHES AND WIZARDS – BOOK 1: THE PENDANT OF HOLLOW WORDS** *A Novel of Magic, Memory, and the First Lie* Elias Reed is a quiet boy from a quiet foster home in London, where nothing ever happens — except the whispers in the walls, the dreams of a man in black robes, and the raven with starlit feathers that speaks in thunder. He has always felt different. But he never imagined just *how* different — until the night a letter burns in his hands, a train that doesn’t exist appears on Platform 13½, and a voice from the void calls him *last*. When Elias steps onto the **Aetherwell Express**, a living train that runs on truth and memory, he thinks he is beginning a new life. But he is not beginning. He is *returning*. Because Aetherwell Academy — a castle suspended above a storm-wracked sea, chained to the sky by ancient runes — is not just a school for young witches and wizards. It a place full of secrets darker than the night . But things get tougher when stranger things begin happening in the castle and the prophecy awakening. Its up to Elias and his two best friend to destroy the first artifact to prevent the greatest evil from returning.
