What is The Peridot's Promise About?


Lyra Hearthstone has always felt like an ordinary witch in a family renowned for their extraordinary magical talents. Accepted into the prestigious Aethelgard Academy of Arcane Arts, she struggles to find her place among her more gifted peers. Her only connection to her famous lineage is a simple, unadorned peridot ring, a gift from her grandmother that she’s always considered a mere trinket.

But when a magical mishap during her first advanced spellcasting class reveals the ring's hidden power, Lyra discovers the peridot is far more than a simple heirloom. It’s a "promise stone," imbued with a fragment of her ancestor's magic and a cryptic message about a secret that could change the very foundation of Aethelgard Academy.

Now, Lyra finds herself not only navigating the challenges of magical education—from mastering elemental spells to brewing complex potions—but also piecing together clues about her family’s true legacy and the ancient pact tied to the peridot. She teams up with Finnian, a charmingly sarcastic potions prodigy, and Seraphina, a fiercely loyal illusionist. Together, they must uncover a conspiracy brewing within the Academy’s hallowed halls, all while facing rival students, enigmatic professors, and a looming magical threat that ties directly to the Peridot's Promise.
