Flickerstate

This is a story you've never heard before.

Norah Sullivan is going to die. Her father is on the verge of death. And their only hope for survival lies in Norah's new ability to wield probability magic and her rag tag team's victory in a dangerous trial.

The day Norah discovers she can bend probability to her will is the worst day of her life. Drawn to her new power called navigation, nightmarish Flickerbeasts—whose bites increase the probability of your death—swarm Norah and her father, leaving them wounded. Nine bites for her father, one for her. A clock ticking down to near-certain, inescapable death.

Desperate for a cure, Norah applies to the Academy of Navigation, where there are rumors of a cure for flickerbeast bites hidden deep within the Archives. But only senior research assistants have access to that information, and earning that position means winning a team trial designed to push Norah's navigation abilities to the brink. Fiercely independent, she must rely on her roommates and her handsome peer mentor, Vik Souza, if she has any hope of succeeding.

But the competition isn't the Academy's only danger. Tensions are growing. Romantic complications threaten to distract her. Students are disappearing without explanation. And the closer Norah gets to what she needs, the harder it becomes to know whom—or what—to trust.

An enthralling dark academia fantasy about magic, found family, and deadly trials for fans of Immortal Consequences and A Study in Drowning. Fall into the dangerous world of Flickerstate, where beasts consume your future and students bend probability to their will.
