In a nutshell
In the village of Armel, two children have gone missing. Kyron, Harvey, Judith and Enora, all 12, each have a strange talent: one commands the wind, another changes his voice at will, the third breathes fire without getting burned and the fourth makes a plant grow overnight. An old chestnut seller gives them four silver coins engraved with their initials. All they have to do is say “Accademia sospesa” together…
There they are, in an academy of magic floating in the air, among griffins, dragons and flying broomsticks. They find the two missing children there, discover a list that ranks the students from most to least dangerous and must face three trials against Florian, the strongest student, and his gang. To win, they will have to learn to trust… even their rivals.
