Welcome to the academy.

You have been selected based on criteria that will not be disclosed and outcomes that cannot be guaranteed. Attendance is compulsory. Survival is encouraged.

The hero of the case: Queen of Faces by Petra Lord: A dark, gripping fantasy set in a world where magic is power, bodies are commodities, and institutions exist to protect those who already have everything. This is a story about identity, survival, and the cost of becoming someone else to stay alive. Forget chosen ones and inspirational mentors — this is an education built on coercion, compromise, and consequences. It’s sharp, gritty, morally messy. And it’s epic!

Field Notes Notebook: This notebook will not save you. But it might help. Issued for recording lectures, warnings, observations and events you may deny later. Use it to document what the official records won’t. Memory is unreliable.

Unofficial Sticker Sheet: A collection of danger labels, mystery symbols and magical creatures. Use them on planners or notebooks to hide secrets worth hiding. If it’s labeled danger, assume the worst.

Unofficial Bookmark: Library insert designed to mark restricted passages and guide you along your way to surviving the magical academies.

Survival Bag: A practical carry-all for books, notes, and items of questionable approval. Durable, discreet, and suitable for daily use – though its contents may attract attention. Do not leave unattended.

Study-aids for Marking Danger: Annotating tabs for identifying important, questionable, or outright forbidden material. Use them to flag passages you will need later or wish you hadn’t read at all.

Pencil, Take Notes, Survive: Do not sign anything you haven’t read. Twice. Ink may be permanent, but pencil allows revision. Choose wisely.

Black Cat Paperclips: Book shapes documents deserve proper guardians. These cat shaped paper clips are ideal for keeping related pages together and for silently judging your organisational choices.
