Bodies Of Magic

Bodies of Magic by Clementine Fraser is a dark academia fantasy set inside a magical medical school, where healer-mages train under punishing pressure and every mistake has consequences. If you like campus intrigue, ambitious students and magic with rules, this one hits the sweet spot. At the Academie of the Grand Duchy of Sieuxerr, the final hurdle is the Grand Exam: five brutal days that will decide each graduate’s future. But when a standout student is found dead on day one, the institution is quick to tidy the story away. Clement, her uneasy closest friend, knows it doesn’t add up—especially after their exam group receives a message that suggests she’d uncovered something dangerous. As suspicion ricochets between rivals, outsiders and secret-keepers, the group must navigate grief, politics and spellcraft while staying alive long enough to prove the truth. Perfect for readers who enjoy murder mystery energy, school settings and morally complicated characters. Step into the Academie and see what the dead were trying to tell you.
