When James and his friends are accepted into Blue Stripe Academy for the Magical Arts, they can’t wait to go. They want to learn new spells, grow their powers, and become the strongest wizards they can be. But on the ride to school, a terrible dark wizard named Aralius Null attacks the three friends. James uses a powerful spell to defeat Null, which turns the first-year student into a popular hero at school, but Null soon escapes prison and starts to terrorize the world. It’s up to James to stand against the dark wizard…or die trying. The Night of Living Death is a middle-grade fantasy story about fighting evil, working with your friends, and becoming the best version of yourself. Full of exciting fight scenes and in-depth magic, the book is perfect for fantasy fans looking for their next short read.
