Five Oaths Academy - Robert White

The past was buried for a reason. Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Long before Max ever set foot inside the Academy, an extraordinary event changed the course of history.

Power was unleashed into the world, spreading supernatural abilities among ordinary people. In the generations that followed, those abilities were passed down through families, creating powerful bloodlines whose gifts became part of their identity-and their legacy.

From that history, the Academy emerged.

Hidden from the ordinary world, the Academy exists to train the next generation of gifted students. Within its walls, ancient bloodlines stand beside one another, each carrying abilities inherited from those who came before them. For its students, arriving at the Academy means discovering their powers, learning their place, and becoming part of a tradition that has endured for generations.

But Max is different.

He arrives knowing little about the world he has entered-and even less about the truth of his own past.

As Max begins his first year, he is thrown into a world of extraordinary abilities, fierce rivalries, dangerous traditions, and mysteries hiding behind the Academy’s carefully guarded history. Alongside Chase, Serene, Clara, and Dex, he begins forming friendships that will become more important than any of them realize.

But beneath the excitement of their first year, something isn’t right.

Questions surrounding Max’s past begin to surface. People seem to know more about him than they are willing to say. Secrets have been kept. Truths have been hidden. And the deeper Max is pulled into the mysteries surrounding the Academy, the more the history he has been taught begins to feel incomplete.

Because what happened generations ago isn’t just history.

It may be the key to understanding who Max really is.

And there are those who have spent years making sure he never finds out.

YEAR ONE is the beginning of an epic young adult fantasy series filled with supernatural abilities, ancient bloodlines, hidden history, friendship, rivalry, mystery, and a magical Academy where the greatest secrets may be hiding in plain sight.

Perfect for readers who love immersive fantasy worlds, magical schools, inherited powers, found friendships, and mysteries that grow deeper with every discovery.
