Nevermore Academy – A Place for the Strange, the Gifted, and the Forgotten

Beneath the gothic spires and whispering halls of Nevermore Academy, where outcasts of every kind walk the shadowed corridors, a new presence is about to arrive.

Pugsley Addams has always been the quieter of the infamous siblings. Soft-spoken, inventive, and endlessly curious, he moves through the world with a gentle heart and a mind that finds beauty in explosives, strange gadgets, and the darker corners of legend. While others at Nevermore display flashy powers or sharp ambition, Pugsley remains earnest and open — the kind of boy who still lights up at the idea of something truly ancient walking through the school gates.

Word has begun to spread through the dormitories and courtyards. A new student is coming. One from a family so old that even the oldest records struggle to name them. Whispers claim this student once walked the same earth as Merlin himself... that they spoke with the legendary wizard, not through history books, but face to face.

Pugsley has heard the rumors. And in his quiet way, he has already made up his mind.

It has to be a vampire, he keeps telling himself. Who else lives long enough to know Merlin?

But something about the stories feels different. Older. Heavier. And for once, the gentle Addams finds himself both excited and unsettled by the thought of meeting whoever — or whatever — is about to step into Nevermore.

The halls are waiting.

The legends are stirring.

And Pugsley Addams is already watching the gates... wondering what kind of ancient darkness is about to walk through them.
