Shadowhill Academy

At Shadowhill Academy, the shadows know Lila Morgan's name.

Lila hoped the school would give her a fresh start and a chance to discover what her uncertain fire-and-air magic can really do. Instead, a forbidden book follows her from the East Wing library, and a black root-mark begins spreading beneath her skin.

The academy calls its vanished students runaways. Professor Voss knows more than he will say. Deputy Headmistress Vale offers help that feels dangerously like a trap. And beneath the lake, someone is still waiting to be found.

With four new friends at her side, Lila follows erased names, hidden passages, and memories that someone paid dearly to bury. To save the missing students, she must uncover who has been using the ancient magic below Shadowhill, before the mark reaches her heart.

Book One of The Shadowhill Academy Mysteries. Ages 13 and up.
