In this new Galileo, every pupil is welcome—but there are some who aren’t so happy with the recent changes.

Told from more than a dozen alternating and diverse perspectives, The Grimoire of Grave Fates follows Galileo’s best and brightest young magicians as they race to discover the truth behind Dropwort’s mysterious death.
