"Descended from a long line of dark alchemists, Ebon is mistrusted by students and teachers at the Academy. When he gets sucked into a sinister scheme, can he find the strength to battle for good against his wicked family?" My guess is yes, otherwise why write the damn book? So we can see him fail and lose? And sinister? Really? One of the most overused words in book descriptions, along with 'brutal'. I won't read this on principal. And 'Ebon'? Is this guy black? I give up.
