About the Book
The first book in an immersive & addictive fantasy series from the million-copy selling phenomenon Torsten Weitze that follows the epic journey of a young protagonist with nothing left to lose.
When tragedy strikes her family, Niri finds herself penniless and alone in a city determined to turn their back on ‘her kind’.
Her only possession is also her only hope - a copper coin that grants her admission to the prestigious Stormfell Academy, renowned for its magical and combative training.
But the coin only offers her a place to sleep, and Niri must learn to adapt and fight if she is to survive the Academy – and its occupants.
The Tower of Beggars is the first enthralling instalment in the bestselling Stormfell Academy series that has captivated millions of readers in Europe, now available in the US and UK for the first time.

Raves and Reviews
You may have heard about the Stormfell Academy series. The Tower of Beggars by Torsten Weitze is the first in the series, and it's about to make its U.S. debut after becoming a million-copy-sold fantasy success around the world. If you love the likes of The Hunger Games and Red Rising, you'll want to dive into this release. It's a story of survival, grief, and determination, which is the perfect way to start off the fall months.

When I first started reading Torsten Weitze's The Tower of Beggars, I was expecting something similar to the Harry Potter books. What I got instead was an entirely unique story filled with tales of gods and inequality.
The delicate balance between surviving and actually finding time to learn is where this story really shines.
The Tower of Beggars is a solid fantasy book that breaks from the usual magical school trope. Thanks to a very likeable protagonist and a gold-hungry pocket dragon, the story is hard to put down once you get started. Fans of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series and Harry Potter are likely to enjoy everything the first book in the Stormfell Academy series has to offer.
