From acclaimed comics creator Joseph Schmalke (We Don't Kill Spiders, Phantom Starkiller, The Electric Black and Cherry Blackbird) comes a dark sweeping fantasy epic. The Academy of Black Magic has opened its doors for the first time in over 200 years. 72 children are conscripted to enter its dimly lit halls and study the dark arts in an environment devoid of the sun. Only seven will emerge to see daylight again. Their seven-year journey begins in Year One of Seven Years in Darkness.
