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.

Winterwood Academy Book 2: Buried

My mind suddenly broke free of whatever false calm she had placed upon me.


I am not going to die here! The strong voice I didn’t recognise as my own yelled as it rushed forwards in my mind like a battering ram.


Celestria was suddenly flung backwards, the thread between us breaking as if it had been cut by an invisible pair of scissors.


I stumbled forwards, barely able to catch myself on the edge of the bed even as Celestria was thrown against the foot of the bed on the other side of the room.


Panting for breath, I skirted my bed, wobbling more than running towards the infirmary doors.


What about Merrin? I thought for a brief moment, but deep down, I knew there was nothing I could do for her if I didn’t get myself safe first.


Another thought suddenly came to mind, and an image of Lecturer Tomas flashed in my mind’s eye as I sucked in a breath. Wind, please help me.
