A Study of Shattered Spells

Magic school students have no idea what really goes on behind-the-scenes…

In February 2025, Josiah DeGraaf will launch a Kickstarter for his debut novel: a magic school story told from the teacher’s perspective. Think Dead Poets Society meets A Deadly Education.

This novel features:

  • A magic school teacher who can’t do magic herself
  • Behind-the-scenes schemes amongst the teachers
  • A music-based magic system
  • Dark academia vibes without the R-rated content

As a former classroom teacher, Josiah has seen the drama that unfolds when the students leave the building.

Follow the Kickstarter pre-launch page to discover what really happens at a magic school (and be the first to see the synopsis, the cover, and more when they release)!
