The New York Academy of Magic series by Sean Fletcher is a four-book YA academy fantasy set in a magical school in New York City. The series began in 2019 with Called by Darkness and wrapped up in 2020 with The Dark Prince, with The Cursed One and Enemy of Magic filling out the middle of the series.
Fletcher uses the academy setting to explore a world where students must navigate both magical education and supernatural threats. The titles hint at the escalating darkness the protagonist faces, from being called by it in book one to confronting a dark prince in the finale. The New York City backdrop gives the magic a modern, urban feel rather than a medieval one.
This series is a good fit for readers who enjoy academy fantasy with a darker tone. Fans of Sean Fletcher’s Mages of New York will find overlap in the urban magical setting, and those who prefer school-based fantasy stories will find plenty to enjoy across all four books.
