The Forbidden Power

Series background & context
The Lego Nexo Knights Academy books drop readers into the techno-medieval kingdom of Knighton, where knights wield both swords and digital powers. Instead of following only the main heroes from the building sets, these stories pay a lot of attention to trainees at the prestigious Knight Academy.
Young recruits arrive at the Academy dreaming of becoming the next legendary Nexo Knights. They juggle classes, combat drills, and strange magical technology while trying to prove they belong. Along the way they stumble into conspiracies, cursed relics, and threats that the adults are too distracted—or too stubborn—to see.
Because the world blends classic fantasy with high-tech elements, readers get both enchanted forests and glitchy spell-drives, stone castles and hovering vehicles. The books lean into the fun of that mash-up, with training missions that might start as simple exercises and end as real battles when digital monsters or rogue sorcerers break loose.
Friendship and teamwork drive most of the drama. Trainees compete with one another, clash over different backgrounds, and learn to combine their strengths when the kingdom is in real danger. It is less about a single chosen one and more about learning how to be part of a courageous squad.
These titles are written for confident young readers who like action and humor but are not yet ready for heavy or dark fantasy. Starting with The Forbidden Power gives a solid introduction to the Academy, the magic system, and the stakes that will keep rising as the series continues.
