The Academy of Ambrosia: An Epic Fantasy Adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798347017331)

At the Academy of Ambrosia, magical dishes decide destinies--and Archie Kent is eager for redemption--in the first book of this deliciously epic fantasy series.

In the five kingdoms of United Ambrosia, there's no higher honor than becoming a White Jacket. From childhood, Archie Kent has dreamed of achieving this rank, the topmost among magic-wielding Chefs. Ever since his twelfth birthday--when he was shown a vision of his future in which he saved his family's failing restaurant, Petrichor--he's been determined to bring honor back to the Kent name, which was disgraced by the unsavory actions of his grandfather. To overcome this burdensome legacy, he aims to restore his hometown by obtaining global fame.

Then, on the eve of his eighteenth birthday, Archie's wishes start to come true when he demonstrates his magical prowess and earns his place at the prestigious culinary academy in the glamorous Ambrosia City. It's the first step toward becoming the remarkable Chef his father never was, but there are other young Chefs who are just as hungry for glory. Every friend he makes is also a potential rival. In his quest to be recognized as one of the greats, Archie will have to beat them all in gastronomic combat.

But crafting explosive blueberries and wielding noodle lassos aren't Archie's biggest fish to fry. A new wave of ravenous Gluttons stands in his way, the monstrous Prince Waldorf prominent among them. Now Archie must navigate the cutthroat world of cooking sorcery to save the mystical essence that flows through Ambrosia--and prevent the fall of the city he's come to call home.
