The truth is buried in the past. But some students can still see it... At the prestigious School for Martial Magic, Year Two brings the Ten Animal Forms -- legendary combat styles each tied to ancient trials. For most students, it's a routine path to mastery. But for Xan, each Animal trial unveils visions of a forgotten history: the true origins of the Animal Wars, long concealed by those in power.

As he begins to unlock powerful techniques thought lost to time, Xan attracts dangerous attention -- especially from an instructor with a personal vendetta. When a classmate dies in a freak accident and another is found brutally murdered, all signs point to Xan. Framed and hunted, he and his friends must race to uncover the real killer, expose a lurking Agent of Corruption, and survive the deadly curriculum that waits for no one.

Magic. Mystery. Martial Arts.

Dive deeper into the saga where history fights to be remembered -- and only the brave dare to listen.

"Mixing a fun cultivation system, academy sensibilities, and mysteries buried in the history of the world, The Animals hits all the right notes for a great progression fantasy novel!" ~Eric Dontigney, author of Unintended Cultivator
