A Mage is Sometimes Late is a new serialized cozy fantasy from the world of Turbulent Magic

It’s never too late to follow your dream of becoming a mage.

Benji never gave up on the prospect of attending Thelspoint University, which he arguably should have after failing the entrance exam thirteen times. On his fourteenth try, though, he miraculously shows just enough magic to be granted admission, and his dream looks like it might become a reality.

There’s just the small matter of surviving his first year, surrounded by students who know way more magic than him, and who haven’t—you know—failed the entrance exam thirteen times. Add into the mix a run-in with a magical secret society, a mysterious presence haunting the passages beneath the school, and a best friend who he’s pretty sure is some kind of immortal being, and the year is shaping up to be anything but straightforward.

Along the way, Benji will make friends, learn magic, and discover that being a mage is about so much more than spellwork.

New chapters release weekly on Ream, Royal Road, and Wattpad.
