With her academically-minded parents moving to Germany for the next two years, Lily is sent to the exclusive St. Sophia’s, a Chicago girls’ school. There, she makes friends with Scout, whose nocturnal escapades arouse Lily’s curiosity, and soon Lily’s neck-deep in a secret war between two factions of magic-users, with her own life hanging in the balance. Mysteries abound – such as why she was sent to St. Sophia’s in the first place, and who can truly be trusted. Fast-paced, witty, thoroughly entertaining, this first in a series is a whole lot of fun.
