Seven Years in Darkness Seventy-Two Keys (2026)

Year Four begins with Honey investigating why one of her professors is distrusted and despised by the spirits bound to the Academy’s seventy-two families. Her search uncovers a dark chapter in 900 BCE, revealing how Ornasis played a pivotal role in the founding of the Academy of Black Magic and how he became the vampiric dragon he is today. The epic continues in this sweeping dark fantasy from writer/artist Joseph Schmalke.
