What do you learn here...at the Academy? Wirt asks. Magic? The responsibility to use your powers responsibly? Uh...something like that, his roommate Spencer said. More like how to rule worlds. Wirt, is used to being shuffled from foster home to foster home, adopting a devil-may-care attitude toward the world along the way. Now he s in a school he can t escape, learning to develop his latent magical abilities, for what use, he doesn't know...to save his world or to destroy it...
Purchase
A new student has entered The Alchemists Academy, and he brings with him an explosive power that threatens the Academy and the legend of Merlin. Wirt thought he was the only bad boy at the Academy, but he was wrong. Not only is Roland Black worse than Wirt, but a new teacher had replaced one of their beloved teachers, and she has more planned for Wirt and his friends than just lesson plans. Alana, his crush has grown prettier, and now he is rivals for her attention with not only his best friend Spencer, but newcomer Roland, as well. On top of that, it is their second year, and the year where all the students must pass a test to move on to the Elite Class at the Academy. The Elite Class is the only class in the third year at the Academy, and the students who fail will be sent home, others will face something even deadlier.

Excerpt:
From Stones to Ashes:
Wirt screwed his eyes shut, wishing fervently that he was somewhere,
anywhere else. Right now, being back with Joan and Peter was looking an
awful lot more appetizing. First, though, he had to find some way to get
out of here…
Wirt doubled up as his stomach suddenly cramped.
For a moment, he though he had been hit, but that hypothesis went by the
wayside as the feeling spread to every muscle in his body at once. As
far as Wirt knew, and thanks to some of his earlier misadventures he did
know, not even three people could manage to hit you everywhere
simultaneously. Wirt forced his eyes open, and then quickly shut them
again, because the golden radiance surrounding him was simply too bright
to look though. Around him, the gasps of the three bullies were clearly
audible.
“He’s glowing, Rich. Why is he glowing?”
“How should I know? Look, just grab him.”
“You grab him. He could be radioactive or something, the way he’s glowing.”
“Oh, so it’s all right for me to grab radiation boy, is it?”
The
sounds of a scuffle came to Wirt, but they were quickly replaced by
silence. He didn’t really care, because by now the unpleasant sensation
running through his body had reached unbearable levels, feeling as
though every scrap of him were being pulled in a different direction.
As
suddenly as it had come, the sensation passed. Wirt had to concentrate
just to breathe, and he stood like that for long seconds. He didn’t dare
open his eyes, at least until it occurred to him that the three older
boys might still be there waiting to hit him. That made his eyes snap
open so quickly that for a second he couldn’t make sense of anything
around him. When he did, Wirt took a step back, and that itself was
surprising enough, given that there should have been a chain link fence
in the way. Instead, he was standing in the middle of a field, with no
sign of any fences anywhere in sight.
