Merlin Academy is the most influential school in all of Fantasma and Elsif is a picture perfect student. But when her world begins to crumble, she decides to do something completely out of character. She wants to put school on the back burner in lieu of a grand adventure.
When Elsif, her cousins Ruth, Milly, and Rose, and their new friend Jazzy, think a fellow student stole the infamous Malum's Staff from the school's weaponry, they decide to find an even more powerful relic. The Warlock's Hat has been missing for almost a thousand years, but it is the only magical object in history that has defeated Malum's Staff.
The girls travel across Fantasma for an impossible task, and fall into a much wider story line than any of them could have dreamed. Together they must find out who they can trust, uncover secrets of the past, and discover they may not understand the true nature of magic.
