Chapter 24

“The Winterwood Book of Shadows has gone missing,” Lecturer Tomas explained. The way he glanced me up and down made me feel as though he was still suspicious. “You should all get dressed and go down to the courtyard. Celestria wants everyone down there as soon as the searches are concluded.”

With that, he gave one last glance to my friends and then gestured for his men to continue down to the next room, where a couple of girls were peeking through their door as if they already knew what was coming.

My friends and I piled back into our room, and I gasped in shock as soon as I saw it. They’d totally turned the place upside down.

“Look at this mess!” Zoe exclaimed as soon as she stepped in behind me. “It’s going to take hours to set all of this right.”

Keeya was careful to shut the door behind her and Luci before speaking, “Think yourselves lucky.”

“Keeya is right. That could have gone a whole lot worse,” I told my roommate.
