Finding a home is hard enough. It’s even harder when you’re eleven and hiding a living shadow.
At the adoption centre, Adam is known for two things: his bad luck and the trail of strange accidents he leaves behind. With his even stranger secret—a living shadow—his dream of having a family seems impossible.
His luck changes when a peculiar couple from a hidden magical community adopts him, where he finally feels he belongs. But there’s just one problem: no one else has a living shadow. Even worse? Someone is willing to kill to get their hands on it.
Following a narrow escape, Adam is whisked away to Miriwan Academy—a place of chaotic wonder where jinn roam the halls, moody gnomes deliver mail, and a mummy runs the kitchen. But between mastering his magic and hunting for the father he thought was dead, Adam discovers a monstrous experiment brewing beneath the floors. Alongside two new friends, he must expose the plot before magic is drained forever.
Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers, Rick Riordan Presents, and Harry Potter.
Enter a world where magic, mystery, and humour intertwine. Join the unforgettable adventure!
