The Academy
When eighteen-year-old Ashur Yonan, a high school dropout with a troubled past, receives a mysterious invitation to join a secretive organization called the Academy, he’s thrust into a world of hidden agendas and ancient conspiracies that could reshape the fate of humanity.
Ashur’s life feels stagnant—living with his mother who doesn’t understand him, grieving the loss of his father, and stuck in a dead-end job. His only light is his girlfriend, Kiki, who’s soon leaving for college, making him doubt his own path even more. Just when hope seems out of reach, a stranger visits him at his father’s grave, triggering a series of strange events. Soon after, a representative from the Academy approaches Ashur with an intriguing offer: join their elite training program and unlock his hidden potential.
Entering the Academy’s high-stakes world, Ashur finds himself surrounded by cutting-edge technology, ruthless competition, and layers of secrets that could unravel everything he thought he knew. As he delves deeper, he begins uncovering long-buried truths about his family’s past—stories tied to the fall of the Shah and the Iranian Revolution, along with mysterious circumstances surrounding his father’s death.
Now, Ashur must navigate this dangerous new world, piece together his family’s legacy, and face a powerful conspiracy. Will he discover the truth in time to save himself—and perhaps the world?
