Wedwood Chronicles and The Awakening

Twelve-year-old Orin Blackwood has never fit in at home. Living with his strict godparents and their cruel nephew means every day feels like a battle he didn’t choose. But when a sealed letter arrives calling him to Wedwood Academy, everything shifts. At Wedwood, elemental magic is real—and Orin’s rare fire ability, marked by the red streak in his hair, draws attention he never asked for. With Jax, his sharp, steady best friend, and Lia, quiet but brilliant, Orin steps into a school filled with secrets.
