Story
Isabella Rubén is a traitor - at 12 years old. Disgraced, abandoned by her friends and shunned by her family, Isabella is sent into exile with scant hope of returning to her former home. Her destination, Kirkhaven Hall; a stone mansion miles from civilization, inhabited only by a pair of older exiles. As she tries to settle into Kirkhaven Hall and a life far from the one she enjoyed before her fall from grace, she discovers that the hall has secrets. Intruders on the grounds, ghostly shadows moving at night, and a plot that may destroy everything she once held dear.

Eight years ago, the Sorcerer Void saved Emily's life. To Emily, Void became, in so many ways, the father she'd never had. And yet Void kept a secret from her. To save the Allied Lands from themselves, to keep them from being destroyed by the necromancers or torn apart by their short-sighted rulers, he embarked on a plan to launch a coup and reunite the long-dead empire, a plan that can only end in total war or a permanent living death. He must be stopped. And now, all that stands between him and his goal is his adopted daughter, Emily herself.

But as Void introduces her to levels and layers of magic she never even knew existed, she finds herself fighting desperately to keep up, to defeat challenge after challenge, to prove her worth to study under him, and to survive a training course that has killed lesser magicians.

Years ago, Heart’s Eye, a school built on top of a nexus point, was attacked and captured by a necromancer. The nexus point was snuffed out, the handful of survivors forced to flee, and the once great school turned into a forward base for a necromantic invasion. All seemed lost, until Emily killed the necromancer and retook the school. Now, she intends to lay the building blocks for a university, a place where magical knowledge and mundane technology are brought together for the benefit of all. But dark secrets lie within the shadowed school.

And most of this chaos is being orchestrated by Emily’s mentor, the sorcerer Void. He believes the only path to salvation for the Allied Lands is to make himself the undisputed ruler of the world.

The new grandmaster of Whitehall doesn't want Emily in his school. She's dangerous, he thinks. The only way he'll allow her to return to Whitehall is if she chooses to be a probationary student, a student who can be expelled at the slightest excuse, a student who has to work for one of the professors. Reluctantly, unwilling to leave her first true home, Emily accepts. But she rapidly discovers that she's about to be pushed right to the limit.

Rare Enthralling w/Intact Traditional Family
Aside from the fact that it was an excellent listen, it managed to escape the "stupid adults" trope. The adults were flawed as any human, but wanted the best for the children, changed when faced with new information, and apologized when necessary. I appreciated the way the mother and father worked together to parent exceptional children. They believed in their children and allowed them to face adversity (sometimes too much) to make them stronger. The children also respected their parents and surrounding adults even while pushing boundaries and questioning, some of resulting in disaster. It was far more realistic than most in it's genre. Bravo!

Fantastic story! You really get lost in this magical world and the narration is fantastic. Seskia really does a great job of bringing the story to life. Christopher really makes you feel like you're learning something that's absolutely real and factual and you are in school with the characters learning about magic.

And yet...more illogical flaws
ZERO is probably the most important thing that has happened to the kingdom, perhaps even humanity, in a thousand years. She may even be more important than royalty. They're so worried about her protection, that they surround her with...no one. No one watching over her, no bodyguard, no protection, nothing. And yet, and yet, and yet and yet and yet.

alternative view into school of magic
My first thoughts in the opening chapters continuously dragged me back into Hogwarts. However once you get past that you then identify with the characters, in fact knowing the Harry potter stories probably helps visualise some of the scenes, action and the magic.
