How do you survive a cutthroat magic academy when you don't actually possess any magic?
You cheat.
Eustace Silver-Eye has a legendary family name, an impossible reputation to live up to, and exactly zero magical talent.
He has no business sharing a classroom with the prodigies of Welborn Academy--especially since the classes are impossible to pass without magic.
The trouble is, expulsion means being thrown out to the Deadlands, where monsters eat little washouts like Eustace for breakfast. So until he can buy himself a black-market Awakening, Eustace needs to fake his magic, avoid bullies that hate his face, and figure out how to not die during three-legged-dodgeball.
Because integrity is great...but so is living to see Summer break.
Useless Magic is a weak-to-strong progression fantasy featuring a magic school, cultivation, dark humor, found family, and a post-apocalyptic world.
Perfect for fans of Cradle, Dungeon Crawler Carl, He Who Fights with Monsters, and Mark of the Fool.
