The Arcane Arts: The Death Tune

A children’s fiction novel being written this November by Jonathan J.

Xavier always thought that his name was the only cool thing in his life. As an orphan, living with one’s grandmother was rarely ever fun. But when a mysterious man appeared at his school with a radiating blue aura and put everyone else to sleep in an instant, Xavier knew that he was in for something bigger.

After the man introduced himself, Xavier was astonished to know that he had been recruited to the Magic Guild, a school full of teenagers like him with magic imbued inside of them.

As Xavier ventures into a world of magic and power that he never knew existed, he befriends Aria and Reis, two young mages that had been recruited the same way as he was. They discover the existence of magic and guilds; its history and legends.

But when students start to die one by one in their sleep, Aria becomes the prime suspect of the school and it’s up to Xavier to solve the mystery and prove Aria’s innocence. However, Xavier later finds that all of this is only a small part of a bigger scheme led by a Dark Guild that is currently out to get him.
