## About this item

Five scholars. Five secrets. Freya Marske's Bodies of Magic is a dark academia fantasy murder mystery set at the Academie of the Grand Duchy of Sieuxerr. It is a 464-page hardback, published on 17 Sep 2026.

On day one of the Grand Exam, the group finds Ysabel Caudotte, the cohort's undisputed genius, dead in the exam hall. Clement, her grieving best friend, is hiding a dark secret, and Estienne is set to inherit Ysabel's top rank. The group is chosen at random, and every one of the five has a link to the dead girl. They must pass together or fail together.

Readers who like a murder mystery with a medical twist will find both here. Beneath the death lies a secret that could change the world, bigger than all five of them combined. Pick up Bodies of Magic and start solving the case alongside the five scholars.
