The Silent Clock

At Shadowhill Academy, the clock is counting down.

The lake prison is empty. The missing students are home. Lila Morgan's first case is closed. But high above the courtyard, a sealed clocktower that no one can enter has stood frozen at thirteen minutes past midnight.

Then it strikes again.

Each strike takes a sound. First the fountain goes silent. Then the chapel bell. Then a second-year girl who can't stop humming wakes up unable to make a sound. When the hands reach thirteen, it will take everything.

With Jasmine, Eli, Max, and Nina beside her, Lila must find out who is winding the clock, and what it is protecting the school from, before the thirteenth strike silences Shadowhill forever.
