To Whom It May Concern,

If this letter has found its way into your hands, then the rumours are true.

Thistlebright Academy is not as quiet as the prospectus claims. Behind ivy-covered walls and oak-panelled halls lies a world of whispered notes, midnight footsteps, and secrets buried deep within the dormitories.

You are invited to follow these mysteries as they unfold — through a series of letters, sealed with wax and slipped into the post as if from a student’s desk or a forgotten corner of the library.

Some letters will be filled with gossip.

Some with warnings.

And some with clues that bring you closer to the truth.

But take care.

The more you know, the more the Academy may begin to notice you.
