Magic, mystery and mayhem- these are the three components within this unique and mesmerising debut novel.
Cassius Blackwood and the mysterious ring finds 14 year old Cassius Blackwood whisked away to the magical Evergreen Academy where he learns he has magical abilities after being embued with a ring by a mysterious woman.
He is enrolled as a 4th year at the academy and quickly learns various spells as well as what one of his teachers thinks he might be power wise (although he later learns he is so much more powerful than first anticipated). Cassius makes new friends, tries to fit into his new school all whilst battling a formidable threat to all of magickind.
A fast paced, mysterious and gripping debut that gave me hogwarts vibes with a supernatural twist- I cannot wait to dive into the sequel once it is released.
Thankyou to Netgalley and the author B.I. Jones for an arc of this amazing book.

Cassius Blackwood and the Mysterious Ring is an exciting YA mystery that blends magical mayhem with boarding school drama in all the best ways. Cassius is a compelling protagonist—caught between being the new kid (again) and uncovering dark secrets hidden within Evergreen Academy. I especially liked how the story kept me guessing with unexpected twists and a strong sense of atmosphere. It’s the kind of book I found myself flying through in one sitting because I just had to know what happened next.

Okay, but who gave Cassius that creepy ring and why is it basically a chaos magnet?! I loved every twisty-turny, spell-slinging second of this book! Evergreen Academy is full of shady secrets, magical mischief, and characters who may or may not stab you in the back with a wand. 😂 Cassius is that perfect mix of awkward-new-kid and "wait, why am I suddenly the chosen one?" If you're into magic schools, mystery vibes, and plot twists that smack you in the face—READ THIS NOW. 🌀🧙♂️✨
