This may well be the chance Ren was looking for to prove her worth.

When a portal spell goes awry and Ren, Timmons, and four other students from different walks of life are thrown together into the Dires, an uncharted land where the last dragons lived, one of them ends up dead and the rest need to learn to work together to make their way back home before they succumb to the harsh environment or the terrifying revenant following them. Along with her best friend, Timmons, Ren is one of the few welfare students attending on a scholarship, and despite being one of the most accomplished people at the school, finding a placement in one of the top houses is proving difficult and is a hurdle in the way of the secret mission Ren has set out to accomplish. Ren Monroe is a promising student wizard at Balmerick, a private school in the city of Kathor.

This dark fantasy duology opener has a magic school, a death, and five students who find themselves stranded in the wilderness.
