Krabat by Otfried Preußler
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The book is a dark fantasy novel set in 17th-century Germany, where a young orphan named Krabat is lured to a mysterious mill that he discovers is a school for black magic. The mill is run by a foreboding master who teaches Krabat and other boys the dark arts, but at a sinister cost. As Krabat becomes more skilled in sorcery, he realizes that the mill harbors dark secrets and that escape might be a matter of life and death. He must use his wits and newfound powers to break free from the master's malevolent grip and save his fellow apprentices from a doomed fate. The story is a blend of folklore, coming-of-age, and the struggle between good and evil.
