As Year Two comes to a close at the Academy of Black Magic, the students prepare for a celebratory visit from their families as they perform a dark ritual to earn their promotion from Mages to Enchanters. The Headmaster uncovers the culprit behind many of the bizarre events that have occurred at the academy while also discovering an emerging outside threat that endangers the city of Scholomance.

Meet Gavin Shaw, a disillusioned teen living in the crime infested city of Apollo Bay. On the verge of losing all faith in the Capes and Tights of his world, fate steps in and gives him an opportunity to do the things they won't and fight the battles they don't. Finally having the means to do something and wanting to put his newfound abilities to good use, Gavin becomes the crime-fighter known as Midnight Tiger and begins his assault on the gangs and drug dealers of Apollo Bay. Making a name for himself as the city's new protector, Gavin quickly begins to realize that something a lot more sinister than inner city street crime is actually plaguing Apollo Bay and he may be powerless to stop it.
