LOGLINE

When a student’s death at Korea’s only magic school is ruled suicide, her four friends hunt for legendary jewels—and uncover black magic, betrayal, and a conspiracy rooted in the school itself.

SYNOPSIS

Amelia is Korea’s only magic school, and its peaceful order shatters when seventeen-year-old Song Ah-reum, one of the school’s close-knit Five, is found dead in a blood-soaked scene. Authorities call it suicide, but her four closest friends refuse to believe it. Their search for the truth leads them to Amelia’s legendary Four Jewels—Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Diamond—relics said to hold extraordinary powers. As they recover the jewels, the students uncover black magic, hidden betrayals, and secrets buried within the school since its founding. Co-written by a Korean-language teacher and twelve students, the novel blends a classic school mystery with youthful magical invention, friendship, and the determination to challenge an official story that does not add up.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

Bae Hye-rim is a Korean middle-school language teacher who developed Amelia and the Four Jewels with twelve students through a collaborative writing project completed in just six months. Rather than producing separate short pieces, the group created one full-length fantasy mystery under Bae’s guidance, combining the students’ imagination into a unified story world. One student also contributed illustrations to the project. The collaboration demonstrates Bae’s interest in creative education and in giving young writers genuine ownership of storytelling, while the students bring an authentic teenage perspective to Amelia’s magical school, mysteries, friendships, and adventures.
