An ancient magic is unleashed, and a thief hides in plain sight…

For hundreds of years, the Greystone School for Runic Studies has stood in isolation, a hidden institution dedicated to the ancient disciplines of Norse magic. Olivia Grey senses that her time as the school’s director is coming to an end. Now, she prepares her resignation to find her place in the modern world.

However, a new generation of magic will soon collide with the old. It’s up to Olivia and her spirited assistant Kindra to keep an ancient and sacred artifact from being stolen from the depths of the school.

Will they succeed, or will the artifact slip from between their fingers and into dangerous hands? The answer will alter the course of their lives—and the school’s future—forever.

**Uncover the mystery in this prequel short story to Rune Warriors, a young adult fantasy based on Norse Mythology.**
