ABSURD VENTURES PRESS presents the first book in an immersive and addictive fantasy series from the million-copy selling phenomenon, Torsten Weitze, that follows the epic journey of a young protagonist with nothing left to lose.
When tragedy strikes her family, Niri finds herself penniless and alone in a city determined to turn their back on 'her kind'. Her only possession is also her only hope — a copper coin that grants her admission to the prestigious Stormfell Academy, renowned for its magical and combative training. But the coin only offers her a place to sleep, and Niri must learn to adapt and fight if she is to survive the Academy — and its occupants.
The Tower of Beggars is the first enthralling installment in the bestselling Stormfell Academy series that has captivated millions of readers in Europe, now available in the US and UK for the first time.

This structure promises a whole new world of knowledge and learning and serves as the home of those Aeleven wealthy enough to afford the Academy's every luxury. Yet, no sooner have the friends returned from distant Xul-Baaril to start the new academic year than they discover that even with pockets full of gold, one cannot ward off the threat of the Eternal Beast or the subterfuge of a powerful noblewoman.
