Eight years after the end of Mr. Chasney's offworld Pilgrim Parties, the Wizards' University is in a shambles. Wizard Derk's griffin daughter Elda and her fellow first-year students encounter tyrannical tutors, boring lectures and truly terrible refectory food. But things get even worse when the University sends a letter to each of their families begging for funds. Now Elda and her friends must contend with a band of trained assasins, a flock of renegade griffins and an unexpected trip to the moon. Even with all the magical means at their disposal, will they make it through their first year?
