Just when I thought that going to a new school could be a fresh start for me, I realise I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only has my almost-boyfriend dubbed me “The Queen of Freaks,” but it turns out I’m way more powerful than anyone could have ever imagined. That would be all well and good if everything was as it should have been at the Winterwood Academy but what most people don’t know is that there’s danger inside the walls of the Academy far worse than anything we might face outside the Wardings. Students are dying, and other than my super hot sidekick, I’m the only one who knows that there is a serial killer on the loose. When my newfound powers attract the attention of one of the most dangerous witches the Winterwood Academy has ever seen, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it out alive.

Luci and Zoe turned to her just as I did.


“If you want to be sure that this is the real deal, we need to see if it’ll open for me or anyone else in this room besides you,” Keeya pointed out.


I reluctantly held up the pendant, never slipping the necklace off, and Keeya came to crouch beside me.


She placed the pendant in the lock, and we waited.
