Devon Sanders, a private investigator known for his efficiency and discretion, has no interest in getting involved with the paranormal community. Unfortunately for him, the paranormal community does have an interest in him, or at least in his secret. Devon is exceptional in solving cases using his uncanny intuition.
When Devon uncovers a violent murder, he knows it is not a natural crime. In order to solve this case and expose the murderer, he will have to go undercover as a wizard in the paranormal university, Quintessence. He soon discovers that his talent has more to do with supernatural forces than he ever knew.
Magic is elemental.

“Why do you want to be a wizard?”
The question came as no surprise to me. After extensive research on the prestigious, secretive university, I knew this was one of the questions they used in considering admittance as well as graduation. In my own personal opinion, it was ridiculous.
“I want to help people,” I answered, as I had practiced.
The headmaster and deputy principal glanced at each other with obvious suspicion. I wasn’t worried even as Headmaster Logan Hunt folded his hands across the dark blue folder on the table and leaned forward.
Twelve of the teachers along with the headmaster sat in high-back chairs at the long table. Rumor had it they were all graduates aside from the headmaster, which I found difficult to believe since one of the four women looked about sixteen. On the other hand, that was assuming she was even human. Each of the staff members wore black robes over their dress clothes, which probably had more to do with the frigid temperature of the room and less to do with stereotypes.
The council room was lit with five torches positioned around us, forming the five corners of a pentagram. A massive fireplace dominated the north wall behind them while the east wall sported a floor to ceiling bookshelf. Between me and the school board members was a small metal folding table and an intentionally uncomfortable metal chair. Upon the table were various objects used to test my mental skills and natural talent in magic.
One object was a candle, which they sat before me and demanded I light. When I took out my lighter and lit it, they were less than impressed. The second object was a rock, which they told me to move without touching. I tipped the table until it rolled off, but that also failed to amaze them.
